ince 1871, thus mused the old townclock,Ive stood the storms of wind andrain,Have felt the earthquake shock. My house was torn by lightningstroke.Yet my patient hands moved on And not a moment have I lostIn all the years agone. Many who oft looked in my face.Are scattered far and wide. Others are quietly resting in peaceOn the hill by the rivers side. Other bright faces still greet me here,Each day in their school hours task,And I make new friends year afteryear And this is all I could ask.To you, my new friends, who look on With eager and laughing eyes.Upon each mind this lesson Id trace, Be earnest, be watchful, be wise. Theres a place in the strenuous battleof life.Which each one must surely fill.The heros place can be yours in thestrife.Or the sluggards place, if you sowill. Then choose your place—The voice was hushed—There was silence in the old townclock.The potent spell of the fairy was gone,And nothing was heard but tick,tock. Miscellaneous—Poetry 583 %i.->Jt>i;4i.
