Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 209, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 September 1913 — Yearning. [ARTICLE]

Yearning.

r<J like to be as rich as Rockefeller, I’d like to be as strong as Teddy la; Td like to be as handsome as Apollo Was ere he lost those marble charms of his; I’d like to be as powerful as William. Who makes his German subjects bendi their knees. And have the care-free ways of Weary Watkins. To come and go and do aa I should please. * I'd like to have the grace to charm tha ladies. I'd like to make men wonder at my wtt; I wish that I had youth with Age’s wisdom. ' That everything I did should make a. hit — . . But. seeing that It’s idle to go yearning.. Perhaps it might be sensible for me To work and try to .be what God has given Me strength and opportunity to be.
