HOME FROM SCHOOL

When sweet Libbie's home from school
There are voices in the hall
Mixed with bubbling> happy laughter.
And the air seems an a-call :;
With the voices Of wild songsters,
And the perfumed days and cool
Are like beads of pearl and amber,
When our Libbie's home from school.
There's a frow-frow too of garments
Over tessellated floors;
There are romping bits of music,
There's an opening of doors,
Till the breath of many blossoms
Comes on breezes sweet and cool.
And their sweetness stirS your heart
strings
When our Libbie's home from school,
Ev'ry day is like a jewel,
Each far fairer than the last,
Slipping past your eager fingers!
Slipping faster and more fast!
How we'd love to clasp and hold them,
Days enchanted sweet and cool,
When our hearts are full of music,
When our Libbie's home from school.
Days a-gint with gray-eyed laughter,
Days. of red lips, half a-pout,
Rose-rcd cheeks wherein wee dimples
Half are hid, half peeping out;
Life which erstwhile lay as quiet
AS shaded wayside pool,
Wakes into laughing torrent.
When our sweet Libbie's home from
school.
Child, whose ev'ry day is May time!
Would for you Time might stand still!
Would these days might last forever!
Orchard, meadow, valley, hill,
Might retain the splendid beauty,
Fountains sing the self-same way,
Would for our sake you might ever
Be, dear, as you are to-day!
