THE OLD GRIsT MILL.

By the willow brook beneath the hin
Stands quaint and gray the old grist miik
Spring moses on its steep roof grow,
Where broad their shade the willows tkxrv.
The pond near by is broad and deep,
And round it's brink the alders sweep;
The lily pads spread gay and green,
The lilies white add gold between;
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound
The rgteavheei turns round and round
Among the reeds the musk-rat dives;
And swift "ths swallow homexErd nies;r
The robin sits in cedar near,
where Willow Brook runs swift and clear;
The children by the schoolhouse play,
whore slumberous shadows softly stray,
And warm and low the summer breezs
Is whispering through the willow leaves.
While grinss the NH with rumbling sound
The water-wheel turns round aud round.
The squirrels In the nut-trees play;
The crows now wing their southern way;
With merry shouts the sehool-boys run;
The mountains blush meath autumn's sum
Their grain they bring adown the hill.
The farmers, 70 the old grfst mill:
And faint from far Ger hin and daIs
Falls on the ear TIE thresher's fail;
While Rrfnds the mill with rumbling sound
The wstor-wheel turns round and round
Long yesrs have come and passed sway;
The mill with age 10 gau. nd gray,
The rsof gaps wide 10 r nd sun;
With cobwebs Tuck thss are hung;
The pond is overgrown reeds;
The marsh-vrsn builds among the reeds:
The night winds through the willows moan:
The schocl-house gone, the children grown;
The farmers sleep where the Wild flowers grow
Who brought tho grain so long ago,
When ground The mill with rambling sound
tnd the sster-wheel turned round and round

influential patron and not of the people
