The letters that came were full of cheer And one held a poppy bloom, The end of the war seemed very near And the boys would be with us soon. The Yanks were hot on the Boche's track, They were beating the hated Huns ; And Pershing was pushing them steadily back In spite of their gas and guns ; And then a letter from Joe's best friend, "Sir, I promised to let you know, They fought together to the end, The chestnut horse and Joe. " "Don't grieve, " it said, "for the cause is won. And they really h...ave not died, Their glorious lives have just begun- They have met on the Other Side. " Just a chestnut horse and a boy so fair, Two forms that were stark and cold, But the searchers paused in silent prayer For the stars that had turned to gold. And so each year as the Spring comes 'round, I shall think of the poppies that blow And nod their heads o'er the grassy mound Of the Chestnut Horse and Joe. Page J orty -ni nt ] \\ A HAND SHAKE AND HOW DO YOU DO THE OLD-TIME FAIR Oh Autumn, bring me back the days I dreamed the dreams of a boy, Before I had learned the world and its ways And life was one round of joy; Bring me a vision of old-time friends, A hand shake and How-do-ye-do, One hour now could make amends For the pain of a whole life through; Bring me those moments free from care And the patter of feet at the score; Bring me one day of the old-time fair, I will never ask for more; Bring me a time from the old-time band, A glimpse of the old-time course, Bring the applause of the crowded stand As it cheers for the winning horse ; Bring me the chicken dinners rare, Bring all of these, I say; Revive, O Autumn, your old-time fair, And bring me one yesterday.
