DOUBLE WORD ENIGMA In "pine-clad hill," In "harvest home," In "cider mill," In "star-lit dome." Indulged and spoiled in tender years He grew a wicked youth He early learned to curse and steal And never spoke the truth. He did not love his books. He said, "Catch me sitting on a stool The livelong day! I'd rather be A dunce than go to school." Instead of going to school, he'd hide His books and run away, With other bad boys like himself, Into the fields to play. Or take his gun into the woods The harmless birds to shoot, Or climb the farmer's orchard trees, And steal and eat their fruit. On Sundays, when he should have gone To Sunday school or church, He'd take his fishing rod and go To fish for trout and perch. One day while fishing all alone Down by the river side, He tripped, and with a headlong plunge Fell in the river wide. In vain he cried aloud for help, No one was near to save, The waters closed above his head-- He found a watery grave.
