EEfE DES EEsTED HOUSE.

BY LIZZIE C. 5EEBE.
An elm tree bent Y 'er the close shut door,
And a rObid mp "a her nest,
Warbled dreamily in her sleep,
To the little ones under her breast.
The moon beams fell on the damp. dark GJor,
And gilded the cob-webbed wall.
And into the silence and the gloom
Came the trlil ol the cuckoo cali
Cuckoo cuckOol how merry itraug
Through the Old house, dark AMI still
Cuckoo! cuckoo. cried the rocking Voice
Of the echo. over the bill
But when the breeze swept up from the dell,
And paused at the door 10 knock,
1t brought the clear, Wild ringing notes
Of twelve. by the village clock.
Then strange blight creBt thrO' the empty rooms
OF the house still and old,
And the mOOnbe3ms paled like autumn flowers
That are touched by the north-wind cold.
And the old elm tree bent with q sadder grace.
Like a head that is bowed in prayer;
And the cuckoo s song grew wild and strange
A vail on the midnight air.
And strange fear fell, like wintry chill,
On the heart of the passcr-by.
Till he tancied footsteps tracked his own
That he heard 4 moaning cry.
But heart far out in the world that night.
o the oe cans bilIOwy foam.
Saw the old house all warm and bright,
And sighed for home, sweet home.
