The Stranger on the Sill.

HC VII tEt
Between broad fields of wheat and corn
Is the lovely homo where | was born;
The poach tree leaned against the wall,
And the woodbine wanders over all;
There is the shaded doorway still,
But strangers foot has crossed the sill
There is the barn, and as of yore
l can smell the hay from the open door,
And see the busy swallows throug.
And hear The pcwcc's mournfu song:
But the srn ger comes-oh painful proof,
His sheaves are piled to the heated roof
There is the orcliqrl-the very trees
Where my childhood knew long hours of ease
And watched tho shadowy moments run
Till my life imbided more shade than SUM-
The swing from the bough that sweeps the air
But the stranger children are swinging there.
There bubbles the shady spring below,
Wi the bulru y brook where the hazels grow,
Twas there found the calamus root,
And watched the minnows poisc and shoot,
Ana herd the robin lave his wing
But the stranger bucket is at the spring.
Oh . you who ally cross the sill,
Step lightly for love it still,
And when You crowd The old barn caves,
Then think what coun tless harvest sheaves
Have pressed within that scented door,
To gladden. eyes that are no more.
Deal kindly with those orchard trees;
And when your children crowd their knees,
Their sweetest fruit they shall impart
As if old mcmoT les stirred their hearts;
To youthful sport still leave the swing
And in sweet reverence hold the spring.
The barn. the tree, the brook. the birds,
The meadows with their lowing herds,
The woodbine on the cottage wall
My heart still fingers with them all,
fc strangers on my native sill,
step lightly for love it still.
