Amaryllis |
|
Amaryllis taught country school |
|
Amidst fields of golden grain |
|
Perched high on a drafting stool |
|
She taught all eight of the grades |
|
Her spectacles hung on a chain |
|
She wore around her neck |
|
She peered through them with disdain |
|
When a student she kept in check |
|
Her posture was always proper straight |
|
She walked with grace and dignity |
|
Always on time; she was never late |
|
She never encouraged a calamity |
|
Amaryllis died an old maid |
|
She taught fifty years from her stool |
|
On the grave stone where she’s laid |
|
Is written: “She Followed
the Golden Rule” |
