MY DEAR LESLIE:
I'm greatly surprised that you have

BOYHOOD FRIENDS

Oh. the dear old friends of my boyhood days, 80.
How wish could see them again,
And hear their voices so loud and shril,
IN orchard. in meadow and lane
With shout we'd scale the 'topmost rail,
And never a had we,
While the woods all rang to the songs sang
And reechoed merry glee.
There were Tommy Brown and Johnny Green and
And Jerry and Pat OShay,
They two rolicksome Irish lads,
Their names gave them away;
But Irelands sons are happy ones,
And their hearts stanch and true,
They are friends in need and friends in deed
And loyal the whole way thru.
on, sadly sigh for the boyhood friends
Who have vanished and left me here,
In my dreams at night see their forms
And their voices ring loud and clear: - ~.
AS they seem to- say in the old way.
