"SCHOOL IS IN."
Gathering at the portals,
Gliding through the doors,
Seated on the benches,
Little ones by scores
Marching to the music
Of familiar airs,
Tells the common story
" School life and its cares."
Blessed little faces,
Pictures in a row;
Buds of coming blossoms
How the dimples glow !
Mark each true endeavor
To subdue the will,
Stifling fun and frolic,
Trying to keep still.
Soon you'll take it kindly,
Merry little men;
Fighting bloodless battles
With the book and pen.
Little men and maidens,
You are sure to win—
Hark, the bell is ringing,
Heed it, "school is in.
