The Old Man Sing.
There's a wamble in the jingle and a stuui
in the meter,
And the accent may be clearer and the vol
ume be oompeter.
And there might be much improvement in
the stree and intonatiou,
And a polish might be added to the crude
pronunciation;
But there's mufic like a harier played be
fore the ancient kings,
When the old man takes the riddle and
goes feeling for the strings.
Thore's laughter choked with tear-drops
when the old man sings.
And we form a ring around him, and we
place him in the middle,
And he hugs up to his withered cheek the
poor old broken fiddle,
And a smile comes on his features as he
hears the strings' vibration,
And he sings the songs of long ago with fil
tering intonation;
And a phantom from the distant past his
distant music brings,
And trooping from their dusty graves comes
long forgotten things
When he tunes the ancient fiddle and the
old man sings.
We let the broken man play upon the
broken fiddle,
And we press around to hear him as he sits
there in the middle;
The sound of many wedding bells in all the
music surges
Then we hear their clamor smothered by
the sound of funeral dirges.
'Tis the story of his lifetime that in the
music rings
And every life's a blind man's tune that's
played on broken strings
And so we sit in silence when the old man
sings.
