The Home for Me.

Give ME home where the evening winds play
And breathe all so low in the ear;
Where the night is not night, but with love is
all day,
And the leaf never once grows sere
Where the emerald grass springs in long,
tufted knots,
And the wind sigheth gently between,
And the shadows drop down in their dark,
checkered spots,
AS If hiding the deep, deeper green.
Give me home by some cool, CLASSY stream,
Where the gables their images show;
Where the long trailing vines are as in sweet
dream,
And drop from the caves hanging lowj
Where in summer the sound of the turtle is
shrill,
As 1t comes from the dank pool afar;
And the chorus of insects, from meadow and
hill,
Begins with the earliest star.
Give me, o give me home in wood,
home In o wood wild and free
Where the many-yoiced thoughts that on the
heart brood,
May expand and grow great with each tree
Where the bee cometh daily to gather the
thyme,
And the squirrels so busily run,
And the MOSES SO gray grow still grayer with
time,
And In silence the circling years run.

youth, as he took the other in his hand.
Another of the pirates stepped up to the
