The old farm house is very still;
The birds may sing as brides will;
But there's silence in the rooms,
No children's prattle when he comes:
No little footsteps on the floor,
No children's greeting al the door,
And there's lack Of childhood glee,
And there's voiceless vacancy.
The old farmhouse is very still,
Let brides sing as brides will;
His is heart Just made TO move
To childhood's joy and chldren's love;
To other groups his musing runs;
Are there not other little ones {?

And give aspiring poor the chance;

Eye who sometimes in your rambes
Through the green lanes of the country
Where the tangled barberry bushes
Hung their tufts of crimson berries
Over stone walls gray with MOSES
Pause by some neglected graveyard
For awhile to pause and ponder
On half-effaced inscription
Written with little skill of song-craft,
Homely phrases, but each letter
Full of hope and yet of heartbreak.
Full of all the tender pathos
