Where slept when little boy,

When life was perfect JOY.
I remember the chairs so old and quaint,
And the bed whereOn SLEPT,
And the chest of drawers beside the door,
Where the apples were always kept.

Through the window small would stray,
And how the bird IN the tree outside
Would MARBLE his morning lay.
And how my mothers Time 10 get up
On my needless ear wOul0 fall,
And the unpretentous print that hung
So crookedly on the wall,
remember the ceiling, cracked aud low
Where the punches OF peppers hung.
And the old green curtain that wouldn't roll up.
but in every Tild breeze swung.
/ remember the barrels with stoyepipes filed
And various other things.
And the memory OF this dear old room
Remembrance also brings
OF the nights had OF innocent rest;

And dream the drfa ms that then dreamt
