THE OLD BLACK LAMP.

No crystals glittered round Its brim,
No silken shields when day was done
Made shade for eyes waxed weak and dim.

Low down beneath the hickory joist
1t hung by rod and leather string.
ItIightly swung air-moored boat'

And smoky lard in the hold afoat
Supplied the wick that weighted the bow.
From fnger-polished peg 1t swung,
And feebly fell its Pickering rays
On unhewn wall and door where hung
Outworn homespun OF other days.
II smiled up red on buekhorn racks,
Where fint-locK guns and ramrods lay,
And twisted hanks of new spun fax
That turned TO silver meath its ray.
The fireplace shadows deep 1t searched
The husking pins and old sheep-shears'
And lace bits time and finger Smirched,
And yellow seed-corn in the ears.
Ready 1t hung as years crept past,
And though they all have left their stamp
OF dents and stains 1t hangs at last
The staunch, the willing old black lamp.
