The Old Kitchen Rocker
Oh dear to my heart is the old kitchen
rocker,
When, foot sore and weary, I seek its
embrace,
As it stands at one side of the vine-cov-
cred window,
A true friend indeed in this wearisome
place
Its straight upright back-like well-do-
Ing Christian
Tor some like hollyhock going to seed).
As much of a help by it's upright ex-
ample
As the rest which it offers, and which
I much need.
The old kitchen rocker the dear kitchen
rocker.
The rocker that's better than willow or
reed
My dear little children who once cluster
ed around ii,
Oft luled into sunderland by it's low
creak
As rocked in my arms in true motherly
fashion.
I pressed softest kisses on each rosy
cheek
The children are growing and soon may
be going
Away from the home and the hearts
that are there,
But one thing I'm certain they'll al
ways remember
The old-fashioned, nt-bottomed rock
a-bye chair
The Old kitchen rocker. the dear kitchen
The rocker that once was their haven
from care
The hands that once fashioned it's quaint
shape are resting,
crossed over a bosom all pulseless and
cold
A life work of duty" though void Of all
beauty,
Is far better tribute than jewels or
gold.
1t has also been spoken by this simple
token;
by their works We shall know them"
'Tis true, I declare!
For only the best, that the forests af-
Was used by the maker of rock-a-bye
chairs
Inc Old kitchen rocker, the dear kitchen
Twill outlast the best of the gay rock
ing chairs.
