And the sore toe tied with yarn;
For the 'mumbIepeg" and the Dos
ton taw"
In the shade of the moss grown barn.
1 even yearn for a stone-bruised heel,
Or a back burned red by the sun;
For the old-time zest for my couch
of rest
had when the day was done.
l long for the days OF the sight un-
seen,'
And the peg tops spun with Irvine;
For my old-time place down at second
base
AS one of the village Nine"
even yearn for the finger bunged
Or the thumb with ragged split;
Or the OId-time lump on my bullying
brow
That showed where the baseball hit.
long for the days of the swimmin' hole,
And the swish" of the old fish-line
For the "crockries, "aggies," "glas-
sies' and
The 'nealies" that once were mine.
/ even yearn for the blistered hands
That came from the old grub hoe;
For the appetite that came with night
In the days of long ago.
1 long for the days that are long, long
dead,
When my heart was free from care
For the sunny hours when my boyish
soul
Was as light as the summer air.
But, thank the Lord, / am living yet,
And l thank Him, too, that |
Can sit at ease when the day is done
And dream of the days gone by.
