The following poem was written by
an old lady, past seventy, who had
been away from the Grove for over
forty years:
A DREAM OF MAPLE GROVE.

day

Oh, it was strange, how time did

1t seemed I'd never known
And in fit, said, "bad luck to it,
Is this country undersnowedI'
Did memory blunder, what they tore
asunder
Each dear, familiar place.
Met on the way many old and gray
But none that knew my face.
There's the grave yard, still, where
many | knew,
Sleeping the calm, still sleep of death.
A lump in my throat, seemed me to
choke,
So hardly drew my breath.
My thots then ran to my children 5

How glad I'd be that face TO see
Her in my arms TO hold.

They're dead long years ago.
How do you do? Pray who are you?
That question always came.

When Miss Lizzie was my name.
Where are my joys, those girls and
boys,
Whose copies oft wrote
In that land of snow, alas none did

And homeward took to rove,
