Show .Boyhood Dreams By DOUGLAS MALLOCH I LOOKED on in boyhood days, and Bill looked on the same, He to wealth and wealthy ways, and I to hills of fame. I have never climbed so far, nor he so much acquired, Here we were, and here we are, whatever we desired. Fate may treat us kindly yet, though fate so long delays. I may have my coronet, and he his wealthy ways. Then, I wonder, what the dream, and what the vision then, What the fairest thing will seem to be to musing men? Hf may have a house of stone, to me a crown belong, He for riches may be known, and 1 for but a song, I may stand upon the hill and he amid the mart, Each according' to his will, accord ing to his heart Yet of something we shall dream, when sitting there o' nights, Will It be a larger scheme, and be the greater heights? I may win a world of praise', he all the wealth there is I'll look back to boyhood days, and he'll look back to his. . 1933. Douglas Malloeh. WNU Service |
