TIE OLD Farm HOUSE.

In little grove of shade trees
Stands farm house, brown and old,
With wealth of vines around it,
Gemm'd with flowers of red and gold
BY the path which makes circle
or white sand around tie lawn,
Grow sweet timothy and clover,
Rosy as June day dawn.
Ronnd its door pale morning glories,
Jump up .Johnnies, dahlias, pinks,
Clusler-concenirate beauties,
Married by thousand links
Links of love, the work of natures
Mystery as handicratt
Links Of glory, through which fairy
Argosies oi perfume wait.
And the gate that swings before it,
And the fences as white as snow,
Stand on variegated cushions,
Which the sun fire sets aglow,
Crowning them with many colors--
Yellow, purple, green, and blue
AS if rainbow there had fallen,
Melted into rarest dew.
On IFS roof the greenest moses
Catch the shadows from the trees
On its sides red honey-suckls
Make their curtesies 10 the breeze;
And the ever-nervops willow,
Standing nsar the gardens bound,
Throw a webAof shade fantastic
On The clover-mauiled ground.
Der the well and arch of grape vines,
Formed with heaven directed care,
Chains The shadows 10 the water,
Making cool the summer air /;
And tiny church, its steeple
Piercing through bower of leaves,
Is sure and sacred refuge
Where the wren her carol weaves.
