GREETINGS.
“Good day!” cried one who drove to West,“Good day!” the other, Eastward bound;—
Strong, hearty voices both, that rang
Above their wagons' rattling sound.
And I, within my snug home nest,
“Good day! good day!” still softly sang.
I saw them not, yet well I knew
How much a cheery word can do,
How braced those hearts that on their way
Speed, each to each, a brave “Good day!”
