Excerpt from Wild Clover: Poems and Stories

As I sit here and write, the world goes ou, The street cars carry loads of living souls Past miles and miles of houses to their goals From east to west the hurrying trains are drawn.

Excerpt from Wild Clover: Poems and Stories

When first ambition haunted me
When life was young and full of wonder,
Each rainbow end held pots of gold,
The great things seemed way over yonder.
Then forth in search of happiness
Across the world I went to wander;
But still illusion walked with me:
The great things still seemed over yonder.

At last I saw with seeing eyes,
And weary, turned me homeward, knowing
That happiness and peace and love
Were there at my own doorstep growing.
The plain old-fashioned joys of ife,
Like humble flowers unnoticed blowing,
The humble virtues tried and true,
Were there at my own doorstep growing.

As I walked down the country lane,
I who have tramped the wide world over,
I picked the wayside flowers, and thought
"There's nothing sweeter than wild clover."
Dear boyhood mem'ries throng-ed back
Of home before I went a rover.
"No place like home," its love, its peace:
- There's nothing sweeter than wild clover
