CHAPTER 1
The Old Bark School
Visible text2 paragraphs
It was built of bark and poles, and the floor was full of holes
Where each leak in rainy weather made a pool;
And the walls were mostly cracks lined with calico and sacks --
There was little need for windows in the school.
Where each leak in rainy weather made a pool;
And the walls were mostly cracks lined with calico and sacks --
There was little need for windows in the school.
Then we rode to school and back by the rugged gully track,
On the old grey horse that carried three or four;
And he looked so very wise that he lit the master's eyes
Every time he put his head in at the door.
