The Little Green Mound on the Hill
BY GORDON A. DAMON.

There's little green mound on the hill yonder,
Where the spreading elm stands like a sentry on guard
And oft, in the evening | stray there to ponder
When the gray shadows creep and the lights growing dim
Oh how sweet to remember the dear days long vanished
When those gentle hands toiled serenely for me;
How quickly the troubles of childhood were banished
When mother Judge and my court" was her knee
How long then to feel the soft touch Of her fingers
Once again on my forehead in tender caress,
And the sound of her voice in the memory fingers
AS around me the deep shades Of eventide press.
The wind gently signs in the branches above me-
And the rustic of leaves to my heart brings a thrill;
My thoughts are Of her-of the mother who loved me,
And somehow it seems she's caressing me still
