Show I JUST FOLKS By Iy Edgar Guest VAIN PURSUIT This is what I heard them say Do you good to go away Throw your toothbrush in a grip Give Give yourself a pleasure trip Finest tonic ever known Is r. r to go a away way away alone So I tried it j Just t to see What could strangers do for me Could I banish all that's been Merely with a change of scene Could I r come to peace of ot mind Leaving all I r love lo behind Would It do me good to stand Gazing at the sea and land Having no one near to share I What I found of at beauty rare Is there any splendor shown Man can best enjoy alone Now Im I'm back and this Ive I've learned Joy is not with self sell concerned Better be at home by far tar Where the friends and loved ones are Sharing all that's yours to own Than to wander off alone Copyright 1916 1946 Edgar A.
