BITS O’ BEAUTY
e l
SCHOOL DAYS.
Still sits the sch&qlhouse by the road,
A ragged begggr,' sunning;
Around it still the sumachs grow,
The blackkerry vines are running;
jWithin the master’'s desk is seen,
. ‘Peep-scarred by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jack-knife’s carved initial.
The charcoal frescoes on the wall;
The door’s worn sill betraying
The feet that, creeping slow 1o
. school,
. ‘Went storming out to playing.
Long years ago a winter’s sun
Shorne over it at setting,
Lit up its western window panes
And low eaves’ icy fretting.
1t touched the golden tangled curls,
! Qn'(l prown eyes full of grieving,
Of one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For fiear her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulled down upon a face
Where pride and shame were min
gled; : |
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left, he lingered;
As restless her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hand's light caressing,
And heard the trembling of her voice,
‘As if.a fault confessing:
“I am sorry that I spelt the word;-
I hage to go above you,
Because’—the brown eyes lower
fell—
“ Because, you see, I love you!”
Still memory to a gray-haired man
That sweet child face is showing—
Dear @irl! the grasses on her grave
‘Have forty years been growing.
He lives to learn, in life’s hard school.
How tew who pass above him
Lamént their triumph and his loss,
Like her, because they love him.
