It stands in a desolate, weed-grown gar
Where once the rose and the lilac grew,
And the lily lifted waxen chalice

The grass creeps in DER the messy TIRES
hold,
The dust lies deep on the rotting floor,
And the wind, at it's will, is coming, 60
ing,
Through broken window and open door.
Oh, poor old house, do you grieve as men
do,
For the vanished things that were
yours Of yore?
Like a heart in which love was one time
tenant,
But has gone away to come back no
more.
Do you dream Of the dead as the days
pass over,
OF the pang Of parting and joy Of birth
In hearts turned dust? All, that dust is
scattered
By winds Of lifetime to ends of
earth!
See! Here by the path is a little BIOS
som.
It lifts to the sunshine a fragile face.
1t springs from a root that some dead
hand planted
A century back in the dear home place.
Little thought they whom the old house
sheltered
That life would fade as the leaves that
fall;
They had their day and are all forgot

The little flower has outlived them all!
