Bright visions of childhood How dear to the heart	A
Are the scenes which from memory can never depart	A
Undimmed by the sorrows the grief and the tears	B
Which have shadowed the pathway of life's later years	C
They come like the rainbow which follows the storm	D
On remembrance reflected with colors as warm	D
And in dreams of delight they picture the fun	E
That we had long ago when we fished in Clark's Run	E
	-
With a can full of worms and a heart full of joy	F
Up and down the old stream a bare footed boy	F
A truant from school my footsteps would stray	G
To the deep shaded pool or where ripples at play	G
As they flowed over beds of smooth polished stones	H
Sang a lullaby sweet in soft undertones	H
From the dawn of the day to the set of the sun	E
What pleasures we've had when we fished in Clark's Run	E
	-
Equipped with a pole a hook and a line	I
And stowed in some pocket a long piece of twine	I
On which you could string if you seined for a week	J
Every fish that was found up and down the old creek	J
With one gallus to pants that were rolled to the knee	K
And holes in our hats through which you could see	K
Where the sunbeams had turned the light hair to dun	E
We hied us away to the banks of Clark's Run	E
	-
There we baited the hook and threw out the line	I
And watched the cork disappear with a rapture divine	I
And felt just as proud as a prince or a king	L
When we landed high up with a jerk and a swing	L
A fish that would measure two inches or more	M
Then anchored him fast with the string to the shore	M
But unnumbered now are the silver strands spun	E
With the hair of the head since we fished in Clark's Run	E
	-
O who can there be with a heart in his breast	N
Would forget the dear scenes which so lovingly rest	N
In the bosom when life has grown old and cold	O
And feel no delight when such pictures unfold	O
And would blot out forever from memory's page	P
The records of childhood which solace old age	P
'Till time ends for me and with life I have done	E
I'll dream of the days when we fished in Clark's Run	E
