7 e Ca ?orsec ? The Little School House Just near the cross-roads into town There stands a school house small and brown About the site the ground is bare, For many feet have trodden there. Within is seen the dusty floor Footprints of those who ai-e no more, Altho, marks and crannies are on the wall The room is cozy, bright and small.
