More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
PARAPHRAsING THE PsALNnsT.

PARAPHRASING THE FS-ALNIIST.
When I was a child" as the psal-
mist saith,
I thought as a child. no doubt,
1 know at least I was scared to
death
Fearful that I might see
The neighbours boy who was twice
my size
And who wanted to fight with me.
When was a child, I was worried
As I wrought with a trembling
hand,
At thing that they called arith-
metic
which I never could understand.
And what II meant IL mattered not;
But l feared what the folks would
If the usual kind Of a mark I got
on examination day.
When was child. I was troubled
when I heard the preacher tell
of a dreadful place on the other
shore
That was known by the name Of
hell.
And l often woke in the dead Of
night
And shuddered in Sheer despair.
Whenever I'd strayed from the path
OF right.
Lest my sins should send me
there.
When I was a child. there were
bears and things
That lurked by my little bed.
And ghosts with white and shadowy
wings
That filled me with nameless
dread.
do not know what I'd ever have
done
With my troubles and griefs and
foes.
II hadn't had such lot OF fun
To mix with my childish woes
