A stump i our Eyes Solid Comfort By WALT MASON. The Poet Pblloaopher The winter may wint as it lists and carry its message of woe the blizzard may shriek as it twists and piles up its billows of snov; 1 heed not the elements' ire, I yearn not for summer or spring; I've a book and a pipe by the fire, and life is a bully good thing. The frost's lying thick on the pane, the snow 's lying deep at the door but Boreas threatens in vain, in vain does he bully and roar! I have" all' the things I desire, I reign in my home like a 'king; I've a book and a pipe by the fire, and storms are a bully good thing! Some go to a far-off resort, where blue is the midwinter sky, where soft, scented breezes cavort, and weather is fit for July. To naught of that sort I aspire; you won't see your uncle take wing; I've a book and a pipe by the fire, and winter's a bully good thing. I'm fond of the long winter nights, when darkly the sky o'er us bends, when the windows of houses are bright, and smoke from the chimney ascends; there's nothing then doleful or dire, I whistle and gambol and sing; I've a pipe and a book by the fire, the world is a bully good thing ley Hotel on Saturday.
