A breeze blows in at the window here,
with the music Of wind-swept leaves;
The patter Of rain on a farmhouse roof
n a fash of the trickling caves;
The glimpse of a long, long lane thar
turns and winds among the trees
The scent Of clover and mint and thyme
and the buzz of humblebees;
A breeze blows In at the window mere,
with the sickles' harvest tune,
The ripple and splash of a roek-bouno
stream and the light OF a harvest
moon
That filters away through the leaves and
boughs in a yellow hligree;
A breeze blows IN at the n mere
that is fraught with memory.
Here Is the tower OF a granite pile and
here Is an endless wall
OF brick and stone, with the misty light
OF the city over all.
Up from the street comes a ceaseless
din, and the rattle OF wheels on
stone,
But the breeze blows In at the window
here. with the scent Of a rose, half
blown,
With the tinkle far OF a schoolhouse bell
and the cry Of lads at play.
The murmuring chant OF the forest deep
and the fields that stretch away
10 the rising hills. where the moon Is
hid, TIL the yellow names arise
As the rays OF a night-lamp swung for
us through tho arch Of s~tar-8ommed
skies.
