---THE BAREFOOT BOY---

Blessings on you,little man,
Barefoot boy with cheek of tan!
With your turned-up pantaloons,
And your merry whistled tunes.

With your red lid,redder still,
Kissed by strawberries on the hill;
With the sunshine on your face,
Through your torn brim's jaunty grace;

From my heart I give you joy,
Iwas once a barefoot boy!
Prince you are ,the grown-up man
Only is republican.

Let the million-dollared ride!
Barefoot trudging at his side,
You have more than he can buy
In the reach of ear and eye

Outward sunshine ,inward joy:
"BLESSINGS ON YOU,BAREFOOT BOY!...."
