Excerpt from The Toiler and Other Poems

And I heard the children's voices ring up the vil lage street.

The music of the old school-bell stole on the morn ing breeze, And children of the long ago played 'neath the maple trees.

Where were the hearts that throbbed with mine in those white hours of peace?
Where were the voices that joined in our youthful rhapsodies?
