Young Folks' Speaker: A Collection of Prose and Poetry for Declamations, Recitations and Elocutionary Exercises (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Excerpt from Young Folks' Speaker: A Collection of Prose and Poetry for Declamations, Recitations and Elocutionary Exercises

Till sits the school-house by the road, A ragged beggar, sunning; Around it still the sumachs grow, And blackberry-vines are running.

Within, the master's desk is seen, Deep scarred by raps official; The warping floor, the battered seats, The jack-knife's carved initial.
