THE TELEGRAPH by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: THE WIRES SPREAD OUT FAR AND WIDE
Last Line: AND TALK TO FRIENDS IN ANY PLACE.
Subject(s): FEBRUARY; TELEGRAPH; TELEGRAMS;
THE wires spread out far and wide,
And cross the town and countryside,
They cross through deserts and through snows,
And pass the spots where no one goes.

But though no feet go out that way
A million words go every day;
Along the wires everywhere
A million words flash through the air.

And if we're happy, if we're well,
The wires far away can tell,
The little words can cross all space
And talk to friends in any place.
