POETRY
a HOME PICTURE.


While bounds the babe, with laugh and spring
Now, thrust my thimble in its case,
And store the spools away,
And lay the muslin rolls in place, .
My task is done to-day !;
For, like the wOrkman's evening bell,
A sound has met my ears,
The gate clink by the street doth tell
Papa hath come, my dears.
Bear off the box from the floor
For yonder chair make room
And up, and ont unbar the door,
And breathe his welcome home;
For It's the twilight hour of joy, ...
When Homes best pleasures rally;
And l will clasp my darling boy,
While papa romps with Allie.
There, take the hat and gloves, and bring
The slippers, warm and soft,
While bounds the babe, with laugh and spring
In those loved arms aloft;
And let each nook some comfort yield
Each heart with love be warm,
For him whose firm strong hands shall shield
The household gods from harm,
Our love shall Light the gathering gloom;
For DER all earthly hope,
We cherish first the joys Of home,
A glad rejoicing group;
And through the twilight hour Ofjoy,
We turn from toll to daily
With thy young dreams of life my boy.
And gaily fondle Allie
