Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Old Hanging Fork and Other Poems The Old Hanging Fork. I. O don´t you remember those days so divine, Around which the heart-strings all tenderly twine, When with sapling pole and a painted cork We fished up and down the old Hanging Fork - From the raiload bridge, with its single span, Clear down to the mill at Dawson´s old dam - From early morn till the shades of night, And it made no difference if fish didn´t bite? II. What pleasure it gives to think and to dream Of those long, happy days, and the old winding stream, When we waded the creek with our pants to the knee, And got our lines tangled in a sycamore tree, And were most scared to death when out from the root The long, wriggling snake through the water did shoot, And you lost your line, your hook and your cork, And I slipped and fell in the old Hanging Fork! III. The years they have come, and the years they have fled, And frosted with silver the hairs of the head, But still in fond memory there lingers the joy Of scenes such as these, when a bare-footed boy I wandered away to the clear rippling stream - No cankering care to trouble life´s dream; - And we spit on our bait and in whispers we´d talk, As we threw out our lines in the old Hanging Fork!
