To knowledge, wealth and happiness;

To nobler hopes and fairer ways,

To all the gladstone land.

OUR HOME. MAKER.


Where the mountains slope to the
westward,
And their purple chalices hold
The new-made wine of the sunset,
Crimson and amber and gold
In this old. wide-opened doorway,
With the elm boughs overhead,
The house all garnished behind her,
And the plentiful table spread.
She has stood to welcome our coming,
Watching our upward climb,
In the sweet June weather that brought
O, many and many time!
Today, in the gentle splendor
OF the early summer noon
Perfect in sunshine and fragrance,
Although it is hardly June
Again is her doorway opened,
And the house is garniShed and sweet
But she silently waits for our coming,
And we enter with silent feet.
A little within she is waiting;
Not where she has met us before,
For over the pleasant threshold
She is only to cross once more.
The smile on her face is quiet,
And a lily is on her breast,
Her hands are folded together,
And the word on her lips is rest"
And vet it looks like welcome,
For her work is compassed and done
All things are seemly and ready,
And her summer is just begun.
1t is we who may not cross over;
Only with song and prayer,
A little way into the glory
We may reach as we leave her there.
But we cannot think of her idle;
She must be a home-maker still;
God giveth that work to the angels
Who fittest the task fulfill;
And somewhere vet in the hilltops
OF the country that hath no pain
She will watch in her beautiful doorway
To bid us a welcome again.
