The Coming Tower
First Lines Of Bah Bsilads

First Lines Of Bah Ballads
A clergyman in Berkshire dwelt,
A gentleman Of city fame,
An elderly person, q prophet by trade,
An excellent soldier, who's worthy
the name.
Haunted? Aye, In a social way,
Ger unreclaimed suburban clay.
Tho other night, from cares exempt,
maiden sat at her window side;
The sun was setting in its wonted
west,--
Now, Marco, dear~-were I thy bride
My welded life--vast, empty ohell---
Sorry her lot who loves too welli
The reverend Micah Sowls, he shouts,
From east to west, the holy clan.
He loves II in the bygone years
John courted lovely Mary Ann,
cannot tell what this love may be;
sing legend OF the sea.
Of all the youths 1 ever saw,
OF all the ships upon tho blue.
Weary at heart and extremely i'll,
There we're three niggers Of Chick
eraboo.
There lived King, as I've been told
Roll on! 1t was a Bishop bold.
Now. Jurymen, hear my advice.
Good children, list, II you're inclined;
The bravest names for fire and flames
In enterprise Of martial kind
When maiden loves, she sits and
signs
Quixotic is his enterprisei O.. w.
One who lives adjacent to Phila-
delphia school tells us that the children
sing songs like "The Love Nest" in the
classroom. Which recalls the first
song we were forced-by Miss Werk-
meister, Room %, Douglas School-to
sing. 1t was something like
In all the green world there Is none 80
sweet
AS my little lamb with his nimble feet;
His eyes are SO bright, his wool so
white;
Oh, he is my darling, my hearts de-
light!
But our favorite that year was:
Where do all the daisies GO?
l know, know.
Underneath the snow they creep;
Nod their little heads and sleep;
In the springtime out they peep
That is where they go.
In the springtime out they peep
That is whore they go.
What worried US the first day Of
school was how everybody but us in
the room appeared to know the words
and music Of these songs. Was the
world, we thought, frightened to dizzi-
ness, like that? Was everybody to
know more than we? And that, DR..
Freud, is a fear we never have been
able to overwhelm The other
children, we learned later, knew these
songs because their older brothers
and sisters had sung them.
And yet 1t wasn't long after that
first dav that a youth named Hosmer
Dorland and we were kept in after
school for having sung too loud.
