Show When Mother Reads Aloud. When mother reads aloud, tho past Scums real as every day; I hear tho tramp of armies vast, I seo tho spears and lances cast, I Join tho thrilling fray; Bmvo knights and ladles fair and proud I meet", when mother reads aloud. When mother reads aloud, far lands Seem very near and truo; I cross tho desert's gleaming sands. Or hunt tho Junglo's prowling bands, Or sail tho ocean blue; Far heights, whoso peaks tho cold mists shroud, I scale, when mother reads aloud. When mother reads aloud, I long For noble deeds to do To help tho right, redress tho wrong; It seems so easy to bo strong. So simple to bo truo. Oh, thick nnd fast tho visions crowd My eyes, when mother rends nloud! St. Nicholas. |
