Blessings on thee, little man,Barefoot boy, with cheek of tan!
With thy turned-up pantaloons,
And thy merry whistled tunes;
With thy red lip, redder still
Kissed by strawberries on the hill;
With the sunshine on thy face,
With the sunshine on thy face,
Through thy torn brim’s jaunty grace;
From my heart I give thee joy,—
I was once a barefoot boy!
Prince thou art,—the grown-up man
Only is republican. .jpg)

Let the million-dollared ride!Barefoot, trudging at his side,
Thou hast more than he can buy
In the reach of ear and eye,
—Outward sunshine, inward joy:
