I've seen a lot of poems writ— On things in Cedarville; A bunch of verse on this and that, The creek, the dam, the mill, Or some such place one recollects From times long years ago. Before, their voices took the jump From high pitch to the low. And lots ’o times a fellow’s lamps Gets leaky with real tears Of feeling for the memory - Of friends ’o by-gone years. But somehow, I have wondered why I t is the ancient muse Has never waft his wand in air To eloquently infuse Our local bards with gentle song About the fairest place That one can call to mind upon Fond memory’s whiskered face. The dear Old village ,school, ah me, That sacred monument, The landmark hound with wreaths of love, ■ ^ For happy days there spent. O’ would that I had g ift of -Words A lyric that would give to thee Full honor to thy name. My heart leaps wjldly with the stir Of real poetic speech, That ,wells for thee in grand display ! An inch beyond my reach.- But O, the hosts of fairy dreams t That flutter thru my brain, As I turn thru the tatter’d book Of old school days again. The play ground with its boarded fence, Its acorn trees, its shade; The level spots,,the well-packed paths where “games fer keeps” we play'd The place for cleaning erasers, Within the cellar door, The pignut tree where boys got bumped, The first long pants they wore. And then, the great bare hall inside, That smelt with years 'o gloom, Strains of “good morn, merry sun­ shine,” . From the kids in Miss Stormont's room. And the tremors of terror I used to feel, At my impending fate, List’ning to the morning prayer, Within the lobby—-late l The class room's familiar appearance, The tick 'o the teacher's clock; The drone 'o the flies in the window, The droll 'o the restless flock Of giddy girls, and growing boyB, • Who knew no worldly care, Except a stone-bruise on the heel, And cow-lick in the hair. The big map on the wall, the globe, The paddle on th e ‘hook; The poem on the front blackboard, From our old language book. And you had better learn it all Before the last recess, „ Or you can't go. down after school To Tarbox’s cider press. And there sits John, way up in front, Blaine Dorn and little Jane, f. “Sleeky,” Randall with both hands All black with walnut stain. And Clarence yelling from behind, Coaxing for a trade Of his jewsharp and cane popgun For my old double-blade. A bunch of curls, like heaps 'o gold, Upon my desk is spread; * A side-long glance from sky-blue eyes Above two Ups so red. The boyish thrill—its flame still burns, As so it did long years ago; When all the other kids in school Knew'Reddy Smith was Tilly’s beau. Liko-pictureS in McGuffy’s third, These memories flit swiftly by; And weave themselves into a web That holds me Bke a 'prisoned fly. The village school, long must it live, To grace the visions of the past; Though .human hands may tear it down, Its tender ties shall ever last. And from each brick and crumbled stone Shall spring a flower of love To smile a t us from years agone, Till heaven greets us above.
