THE BOY
He does’nt know what flowers spring
Beside the leafy lane;
The modest violet is a thing
He views with mild distain,
A primrose by the river’s brim
He tramps beneath his heel!—*
It’s fragile loveliness to him
Has not the least appeal.
Put sitting on the pasture bars,
And swinging idle feet,
He’ll spot the make of any c?»,
That passes down the sreet.
He does not heed the robin’s note
Or seek to find its nest.
No useful time would he devote
To such a childish quest.
He doesn’t! now what wondrous words
They chirp from tree to tree —
The little things are only birds
As far as he can see.
But it will set his eyes a-dance
To hear a motor whizz,
And he can tell you at a glance
Exactly what it it.
The barefoot boy with checks of tan
Of Mr. Whittier’s days.
When six to eight years old began
To study Nature’s ways.
He knew the songsters overhead
And spent his leisure hours
Among the fields with eager tread
Collecting fragrant flowers.
But if he were alive today
He’d loll upon the bars
His shining eyes fixed far away
To spot the motor £ars.
