Show Poems You Should Know. I Whatever kind of a job you may have, you don't get all that's coming to you if you let a day go by without drinking at the fount in which tho I muses lave their airy feet. There's nothing like poetry for a man with an empty stomach. Professor Pro-fessor J. Keats Syphers. Roll On, Time, Roll On. (By the Sweet Singer of Michigan.) Roll on, time, roll on, as it always has done Since the time that this world first begun. It can never change my love that I gave a dear one Faithful friend that I gave my heart and hand. Chorus: Roll on, time, roll on, it can never turn back To the time of my happy maiden days To the time of my youth it can never turn back. When I wandered with my love, bright and gay. Oh, I was a happy girl then as could ever be, And live on this earth below I was happy as a lark and as busy as a bee. For in fashion or in style I did not go. My parents were poor and they could not dress me so, For they had not got the money to spare, And it may be better so, for I do not think fine clothes Make a person any better than they are. I' I ! i I Some people are getting so they think a poor girl, Though she be bright and intelligent and gay, She must have nice clothes or she is nothing in this world, If she is not dressed in style every day. Remember never to judge people by their clothes, "Honorable are rags if a true heart they inclose." And I find it was the truth when I married. For our brave, noble Washington said, This is all according to S. E. Kiser, in the Chicago Chi-cago Record-Herald. |
