THE OLD KITCHEN.

were passed.
Iloved all its rooms TO the pantry and hall,
But that blessed old kitchen was dearer than aii.
Its chairs and its table, none brighter could be,
And all its surroundings were sacred TO me-
To the nail in the ceiling, the latch on the door
And loved every crack in the old kitchen floor.
The grand old fireplace with its mouth high and
wide
The old fashioned oven that stood by its side,
Out of which so often came pudding and pies
That fairly bewiidered and dazzled our eyes
And then. too. St Nicholas, slyly and still.
Came down every Christmas our stockings 10 nii
But the dearest of memories I've laid up in tore
Is the mother who trod ON the old kitchen HOOP
Day in and day out, from morning till night,
Her footsteps were busy, her heart always hsl''
For it seemed 10 me then she knew not care
The smile was - gentle her lace USED TO wear
remember SO plainly what joy filed our eyes
When She Told Us the stories that children SO
prize. !,
They were new every night, though we'd hefiru
them before
From her lips 1T the wheel on the old kitcren
floor
Tonight those old visions come back at their VIII
But thc wheel and its music forever are Sui
