The old Rail Fence.

The old rail fence with aimless angles
Curved round the scented fields of old;
And wild, blown vines in quaintest tangles
Bloomed there in purple and In gold.
And winds went over, cool and sweet,
With rivery ripples in the wheat.
The white road to the river knew it
The river running wild and fleet;
A cabin path went winding to II,
With light prints of a boys bare feet,
And cattle in the woods at morn
Roamed by and nipped the bending corn.
In corners cool the plowman rested
When rang the welcome bells of noon;
And there the thrush and partridge nested
And sang the hooking birds of June,
And winds were sweet with muscadines,
There twilight paused In rosy dreaming.
And Ger the riot of the rills
When starlight on the world was streaming
And with the music and the stars
Love met his sweetheart at the bars.
There, with the evening shadows falling,
In cabin door a woman stands;
And far and sweet her voice is calling,
And children heed her reckoning hands.
There, for the weary ones that roam,
Twinkle the dreamy lights Of home,
The corn still waves and vines are clinging;
The larks are hid In bending grain;
The birds sing, as my hears is singing,
Where, lonely in the woodland rain,
The old rail fence-its service Ger
Curves round the blossorhing fields no more.
Yet, there / halt my horse, and signing,
Above the old rail- FENCE / lean.
The SHOWS upon life's pathway lying
Have left one living glimpse of green.
And still, through change Of time and art,
The Old rail- fence runs round my heart.

The Question.

The irksome choice not always lies
Between clear right and wrong;
Nor grievous is the sacrifice
When heart is sure and strong.
But when conflicting duties meet,
Demanding answer true,
Know you which one to bid retreat?
Which one let govern you?
What profits it a man to keep
His W soul free from stain,
If he for others make a steep
That else had been a plain?
Sometimes a lie will save a life;
The truth sometimes will kill;
Who shall decide in such a strife
Which choice is good. which ill?
