THE OLD GARRETT.


Gben E. Rexford in Boston Evening
Transcript
Swing aiar the garnet door,
How the rusty hinges creakI
Pause before you venture Ger
The old threshold. worn and weak.
Comes, as oft such questions will
Who knows what's beyond the sill?
Here. all things are plain to see
There all things are mystery,
Where old treasures are shut fast
In the storehouse of the past.
From the rafters overhead.
WithereG herbs, in dusty rows,
Hang like branches Sere and dead:
Bur, whene'er a soft wind blows
Through the windows broken pane
Faint. sweet fragrance again
From their leaves are shaken free,
As an old-time memory
In the cObWebbed minds Of men
Stirs, and tries to live again.
Here the spiders web is spun
In the dust and in the gloom.
Here are woven, one by one.
In a viewless, noiseleSs loom,
Fabrics fit Tor fairy wear,
Frail as frost and quite as fair
Showing patterns rarer far
Than those OF old laceS are
When q light from heavens blue
Shines the Silken meSheS through.
In that shadowy corner stands
An old cradle, and it seems
While a baby sleeps and dreams
On the pillow, long impressed,
And = lullaby of rest
TrembleS softly through the gloom
OF this memOry-haunted room,
From the lips that long ago
Turned to dust where grave-howers
grow.
In that old, worm-oaten chest.
What quaint things are stored away
Stomached and 'brOadered vest
Satin gown and wig of gray,
l can fancy phantom folk
Dancing at the midnights stroke,
In the garments hidden here
For who knows how many year?
'TWere an eerle sight to see
Their grim, ghostly revelry.
Almost hidden from the sight
BY the wreckage of the past
In the dim and dusty light
From the cobwebbed window cast,
Shows mirror. and therein
Many a ghost of what has been
Seems to rise and swiftly pass
Like a shadow Ger the glass.
In the depths Of 1t l see
Things that almost friShten me.
Faces mouldered into dust
Long ago look out at me
From the furnished frame, whose rust
Mocks IT human vanity
As q shadow forms. for they
Form. and fade, and pass away,
Like the ripple on q stream,
Or the fancy of dream
Here-then lost in shadows vast,
The procession of the past
Longer here I dare not stay,
For il somehow seems to me
We are trespasserS today.
Shut the door and turn the key.
Leave it to the dead, who quit
Their old graves 10 visit il.
Whence they come or where they go,
What they come for-whO shall know?
I shall solve the mystery
When the grass grows over me-
