But the little brown house by the road
Is lonely now and still.
For Robin is dead, and Alice Is wed,
And Louie must bide ut the mill;
rather Is gray and silent
And the mothers foot is slow
And YOU hear the clock with its faint tick tocl,
AS you could not long ago.
The little brown house by the road.
From the swift train flashing by
watch IL stand in the quiet land.
Under the quiet sky;
From the time OF the golden daisies
To the hour OF the falling leaves
FROM the time OF seed to the waving mead
And the flush OF the ripened sheaves
The little brown house by the road,
When passed it yester cen.

NY eyes with a dazzling sheen;
There were lamps in the twinlling windovs

That the fire was bright on the hearth alight
And the children home at last.
To the little brown house by the road
Had come Thanksgiving Day,
ma the wintry air. II they felt it there,
Tad the tender warmth of May
The fathers tongue was loosened
And the mothers laugh was clear.
FOR the chrism of love was poured above
The home in the waning year
Tho little brown house by the road
On mother, old and gray.
Honest and true they return to YOU.
The children who went away;
And Rex who is on in the army,
And Archie, afar on the sea,
Never forget the tasks they were set
At home, by the mothers knee.
FROM little brown homes by the road
The strength OF our land is brought
Paying their way from day to day

To the glory OF One beyond the sun.
