HACK TO TIIU LOTUS LA.DS. Helgh-ho, Babyhood! Tell me wheie j ou linger Let's toddle homo ugaln, foi wo have gone astiuj , Take this e.igei hand of mine and lead me bj the llnsei Back to the lotus lands of the fai awaj. Tin n back the leaves of life; don't read the storj Let's llnd the pictures and fancy all the lest. We can till the written pages with a blighter gloij Than old Time, the story teller, at his best. Tuin to the brook, where the honey suckle tipping O'er Its vase of perfume, spills it on the bieeze, And the bee nnd humming bird In ecstacj are s,lpplng Prom the falrj flagons of the blooming locust ttees. Turn to the lane, -wher we used to "tec-toi-totter," Pilntlng little foot palms In the mellow mould; Laughing at the lazy cattle wading In the w ater, Where the ripples dimple round the but tercups of gold; Where the dusky turtle lies basking In the gravel Of the sunny sandbar In the middle tide, And the ghostly dragon fly pauses in his travel To i est like a bossom where the water Illy died. Helgh-ho' Babjhood! Tell me where jou linger Let's toiidlo homo again, for wo have gone aatraj ; Take this eager hand of mine and lead me by the finger Hack to the lotus lands of the far away.
