25 THE SPECTATOR POETRY LONESOMENESS. Lonesome—one little word. But, Oh! wliat it means. A word that portrays A thousand sad dreams. k Picture a dog and his master so gruff. v'hu beat and treated him ever so ’•ough; Until the time came that they must „in l art, When the dog died with a broken heart. Picture a mother all wrinkled and gray Her sons at the front, fighting day oy day; Her heart—Oh so weary war soon laid to rest But God only knew ’twas from lonesomeness. So when you are treated with scorn Think of the others who are forlorn When you are lonesome and blue There are others as lonesome as you. Lonesome—one word But, Oh, what it means A word that portrays A thousand sad dreams. RITBY HINES. ’21. --------oo------- OUR WAR PRESIDENTS. Washington is our father The founder of the U. S. A.
