Baseball

Baseball
By: Frank Dempster Sherman

Upon the level field behold
A gathering of Pleasure�s court,
To emulate the Greeks of old
In friendly rivalry and sport.

Swift from the pitcher�s hand the ball
Flies till it meets the bat, and then
Upward it scales the sky�s blue wall,
Trembles, and drops to earth again.

Then lifts a long and lusty shout
That seems to shake the very sun:
Who knows the score? Is it an �out,�
Or did the player make a �run�?

So every afternoon their play
Makes tougher muscles, redder cheeks,
And keeps our sturdy boys to-day
The rivals of the ancient Greeks.
