And Just inside the door. IN ihe broken floor

The roof all brown and broken. and down
Through hs chunks The sof, sunlight stealing
Dances all the day DER The old -oaken floor,
And rests the faded ceiling
i,yv Vo.olh.ne leaves climb the crumblins caves.
Der lac Old root tesiderly trailing;
Aus foslorn-lOoking faces OF old garden dasies
Peep OF thsoag. the rekety railing
The robin sings sweet DER tlie threshold seat
In The pleasant summer weather;
And the hum-bird and bee, in The Old homestead tree
Make music ali day together.
Bus inside The low wall is pleasant football
on the hearihsIore cold and dresry;
For he feet that met here for many year
Ofiife long ago grew weary.
One went early away where eternal day
Odds with glory The Temple golden,
Whose pillars OF igli ne'er on mortal sight
Have dawned. since the ages olden.
One has laid down asleep IN the faihomls.s deep,
Where the ,id-s roll untirnsly over;
And one in the s;riie OF a wearisone liie
On ;,e earth has been hong a rover
The konerooi has grown gray. and crumblng nwsy
And the mosses are into creeping;
And The hearts grown cold round ,he hearhsione old
