A Picture Of Home.
l recall home long since left behind in
the journey Of life, and its memory floats
back over me with shower of emotions
and thoughts towards whose precious fall
my heart opens itself greedily like thirsty
flower. 1t is home among the mountains,
humble and homely, but priceless in its
wealth Of associations. The waterfall
sings in my ears, as it used to through the
dreamy, mysterious nights. The rose at
the gate, the path Of tansy under the win.
dow, the neighberins orchard, the old elm.
the grand machinery of storms and show
ers, the little Smithy under the hill that
famed with strange light through the dull
winter evenings, the wood pile at the door,
the ghoStly white birches Of the hill, and
the dim blue haze on the retiring mountains
all these come back to me with an appeal
