WHEN THE HEART SINGS

My old heart that keeps a-s,nging,
an without no reason to!
'Ceptin' there are roses blooming,
'ceptin' that the skies are blue,
'Ceptin there are birds a-singin' and
that little children call,
And most everything is CROWN, and
the corn is gettin' TALL
And the rain has stopped a-fallin,
and the war is past and done.
And the fence is hid out yonder where
the mornin' glcries run,
Side from them things there is moth
ing that should make my heart
sing so,
Songs it never dreamed O. singin' in
distant long ago.
| expect that way back yondor with
my youth and everything,
My heart kept a-looking forward till
it hadn't time to sing;
1t was lookin' forward, dreamin' of
the moonbeams on the sea,
Dreamin' always of the glories that
the years should bring to me;
That is what youth is-a-lookin past
the heights that's over there
Till it hardly sees the world that's
sprcadin' round it sweet and fai.,
TIL it doesn't see the children, an
it doesn't hear them call,
And it never sees the glories that are
climbin' on the wall.
But when all the rush and turmoil of
his youth is past and gone,
Then feller's got the time TO see
the glories of the dawn,
Then feller's got the time to set
a-restin' by the way
And TO smell the clover blossoms
where the little children play:
And he's got the time to notice that
! his heavens close by
Not a-past the heights off yonder, not
beyond the achin' sky;
And it may be ge that's maxim my
old heart to throb and sing.
Like it never sang back yonder when
my life was in its spring.
