 The Maple in its Diseased State. 



THE MAPLE AND THE MAN. 

 The Maple. 



Lo ! here I've stood, in silence deep, 



Through winter's storm and summer's heat 



The school house bell and children's cheers 



I've heard for nearly fifty years. 



I've called on teachers, passers-by. 



But none, it seemed, could hear my cry ;
