Show I UNCLE SAM. "Tell me," the other night, said he-, 1 "Just who my Uncle Sam can be? 'I've never seen his face at all, Except that one with hat so tall The paper print, and long goatee; Why does ho never call on me, Or write to ask mo how I am, If he's my really Uncle Sam?" And then I said: "From start to end,. Your Undo Sam's yqiir truest friend Except your mother, and maybe He loves you just as much as she; lie guardB you when you sleep at night, Teaches you what is wrong and right, And by the wisdom of his rule, Goes with you every day to school. "Your Uncle Sam has said that you Shall work at what you like to do, Shall live your life, and no one here With you shall dare to Interfere, So long as you his laws obey M And play the man, let come what '; may, ' It Is your Uncle Sam, in truth, , Who gives you all the joys of youth. , "He's bulldcd roads and bridged the streams ' That you may realize your dreams; The doors of schools are opened wide For every boy to step inside, And learn from him the many (J jH things 1; H Which used to be the boast of kings; 1 'M Now everywhere his teachers wait His boys and girls to educate. fH "Tho starry flag which flies above Is but a symbol of his love. (,. jH You'll never see his kindly face, ( vH Or of his footsteps find one trace, f IjH But every good shall come to you, . If unto Uncle Sam you're true, jH Serve him in every way you can, . :H ,And you shall be a happy man." H |
