LIFE'S PATHS.
Ik's a wonderful world we're in, my .dear, A wonderful world, they say. And bleat they be who may wander free Wherever a wish may stray; Who spread their sails to the arctic gales, Or bask in the tropic's bowers While we must keep to the foot path steep, In this workaday life of ours. For smooth is the road for the few, my dear, And wide are the ways they roam; Our foot are led where the millions tread, In the worn, old lanes of home. And the yean may flow for weal or woe, And the frost may follow the flowers, Our steps are bound to the selfsame round, In this workaday life of ours. But narrow our path may be, my dear, And simple the scenes in view. A heart like thine and a love like mine Will carry us bravely through. With a happy sosg we'll trudge along, And smile on the shine or showers, And well ease the pack on a brother's
By this workaday life of ours. -Joe Lincoln, in * Cape Cod Ballads/
