THE OLD FARMHOUSE.

THE OLD FARMHOUSE,
Oh, dear the old farmhouse to mel
The homely ways. the ample cheer,
The refuge at my mothers knee
From childhood's every grief and fear
And dear she memory of those days
Bathed in loves amber atmosphere,
When all our voices rose in praise,
When sire and child were bowed in prayer
But where are they,
The fond, the gay,
Who filed the great white house in May2
Gone like the birds from last years nestl
Gone as the leaves in autumn Hyl
Some to the cities of the West,
Some toll beneath an Indian sky;
Some, other prairies sow and reap;
One sank beneath the moaning sea;
Some in the ehurch-yard lie asleep,
And, quivering in the old roof-tree,
One homesick waits
The swing of gates
To watt her to heavens bright estate.
