THE

LAND

OF

MISTY

Someday

June 18 1918

 

Though the day is long, holding ne'et a Song

Manny visions come to me;

Neath the clouded skies thoughts of home

arise,

Take me back across the sea.

In that land so fair someone's waiting there

Yearning eyes are watching too;

Miles and miles away, someone parents

seem to say

TO

"I am longing Just for you."

From MACEDONIA John Jones
