LAVENDER LEAVES.

The waving corn was green and gold.
The damask roses blown,
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up a drowsy drone
When Mistress Standish, folding down
Her linen, white as snow,
Between it laid the lavender,
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes of grayish green,
Still moist with morning dew,
Recalled garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue;
An English garden, quaint and old,
She nevermore might know;
And so she dropped a homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin,
And fell in many shred;
Some went to bind the soldiers wounds.
And some to shroud the dead
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw.
And violets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall,
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across it to and fro
The ghost of linen laid to bleach
One summer long ago.
