PASSERS.
Out of the big wide world they come
and pass for a word, and go
Out into the world again and gone;
gone as the leaves that blow
Down airy lanes, and their names fade
out, but if they have brought a
smile,
Then a memory of them outlasts their
name and stays for the longest
while;
And you ar© glad that they climbed
the stairs to get to your little den,
And there’s a sweetness you know not
of when they have gone on again;
They bring you stories of distant
lands, and stories of foreign
ways. /
And some are old and they tell you
tales of loves of the far gone
days.
And one comes to you to tell you
things of a boy that he had who
died.
And another comes with a failure tale
—he failed though he tried and
tried.
But he believes he will win out yet,
and smiles as he leaves your den,
With a courage finer than tempered
t steel, a courage to try again! j
And maybe thought you don’t know
quite how, they’ve been of some
help to you;
But, anyhow, here’s luck to them who
come as the wild leaves blow
Out of the big wide world, and pause
for a “Howdy?” and turn and go.
