MY HOME.
by MARY EMILY JACKSON.

by MARY EMILY JACKSON,
They say my home, my gentle home,
Is where rude mountains rise;
The sunheans shod chcoross ray,
From these cold Northeri skies
They say, though sweet the song 1t giyce,
My harp is rude and wild
And though | speak the notes Of Joy,
Yet am sorrows cdild.
They say I'm Gdendcss and alone,
In some secluded dell
With not a ray to light my path
And none 10 love me well
That have never known The world,
And all its glorious things,
Nor felt the ray which knowledge bears
On its mysterious wings.
And they all pity me they feel
How transient is my stay,
I'm oss some hidden light should CLEAN
Upon my troubled way
They fear that mid those dafksomo wilds,
The lonely flower may die,
Unheeded by the worlds cold frown,
And Pleasures fearless eye.
They know not that, though rudo the path
With wild and unnamed glec,
As when in Childhood's happy days,
My feet can wander free,
High over hill and mountain side,
BY greenwood, foun and bower,
Light as the wild dcer's arIlcss leap,
In summers gaycst hour.
They know not that, though rude and dark,
Those mountain haunts may seem,
That Friendship sheds her genial ray,
On every sunny stream;
And though the flowers which deck my path
Are hueless ali and wild
Yet summers warm and gladstone beam
Has o or them kindly smiled.
They know not that the gentle air
Which kisses Oft my brow,
And whispers me Of holy things
Through every lcaiy bough;
The calm and misty twilight hour
The greenwood wild and free,
And that The friends l love too well,
Arc al the world to me.
