OUR PRESIDENT

The little white house is empty to.
night,
The kitchen and room are bare,
No hand is lifted to close the door,
No tired feet seek the stair.
Time was, it was home, ev'ry incl
planned, a49
From the ground to the roof above;
When rooms resounded with laughter
and song,
And the hearth fires kindled with
love.
A mother stood meath the apple tree;
A sister planted the rose,
A father fashioned the trellis high,
Where columbine twines and grows
But all must away, those dreams and
hopes,
Forever have ceased to be:
The rooms are vacant, and cold and
bare,
And a stranger holds the key.
Through years the millions have gone
this way,
As millions are going still;
From the brown home on the avenue,
And the white house on the hill.
A mighty people have turned at last
And voice in Washington
Speaks out to find them, each and all,
A lasting place in the sun.
He comes with promise on his lips,
And speaks from heart that feels,
For unemployed and the homeless
throngs,
With a plan that mends and heals.
Broken and bleeding, bruised and sore,
A nation pleaded for bread.
The money changers were counting
gold,
And tossed them a stone instead.
The storm is passed, and hopes rain
bow CLEANS,
For there meath the nations dome,
Is helping hand for ev'ry land,
And a heart for folks at home.
A mighty nation has turned at last,
She crowns her favorite son,
And sees in his face, the lead and
grace
OF second Washington.
