THE THREE LITTLE CHAIRS

@ lk54
They sat alone by the bright wood fire.
The gray haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming of days gone by;
The tear-drop fell OH each wrinkled cheek,
They both had thoughts that they could
not speak,
AS each heart uttered sigh.
For their sad and fearful eyes deserted
Three little chairs placed side by side
Against the sittng-room wall:
Old fashioned enough as there they stood,
Their seats of flag and their frames nfw"od,
With their backs SO straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his silvrry head,
And with trembling voice he gently said
q Mother, those empty CHAIRS,
They bring us such sad, sad til fhts r.

Wen put them forever ont of >islit.
In the small, dark room. up stai.'s
But she answered, F" Father, M, not yet,
Tor [ look at the and forget
That the children went away.
The boys come back, and our Mary, too,
With her apron on of checked blue,
Andsit here every day
johnny still whites ships tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts,
While Mary her patchwork sews;
at evening time three childish prayers
Go up to God from those little chairs,
SO softly that no one knows.
Johnny comes back from the billow deep,
Willie wakes from his battlefield sleep,
TO say goodnight to me;
Mary's n wife and mother more,
But a tired child whose play time is DER,
and comes 10 rest on my knee.
So let stand there. though empty now,
And every time when alone we bow
At the Fathers Throne to pray,
Well ask to meet the children above,
In our Savior's home of rest and love,
Where no child goeth away"
