The Whistler He blows the sordid care of life away While sending flute-like music through his lips, Assails the wearing labors of the day, While cheerfulness pervades his finger tips With blood that holds the iron of a man, Sent by a heart that knows its duty well, And rings the changes of Creation’s plan As would a mellow-throated silver bell. His tuneful whistling wakes the sleeping air ‘That listens with a sweet, contented smile, And even discontented, grouchy Care, Forgets to frown at his inviting wile; But lets the recklessness of thoughtless Mirth, For just a moment, have its careless way, And in that moment give the laughter birth That sweetens the remainder of the day.
