PRESERVING TIME

PRESERVING TIME
There's, the fragrance of the orient
through all the house TODAY,
The spicy smell of cinnamon, cloves.
nutmeg, and bay,
And 1t mingles with the perfume of
the peaches and the plums;
10 you recognize this fragrance
when preserving season
There are baskets heaped with apples:
heaped with damson plums and
pears;
Jelly glasses by the dozen; Mason
Jars long stored down stairs,
Have been washed in boiling water
and now stand in cleaning
rows
And neatly written labels soon their
contents will disclose.
Blackberry jams and melon pickles,
branded peaches, apple jell,
Preserved pears Cast seasons win
nerl and ounce marmalade as
we'll;
All the sunshine Of the summer for
the winter time put by;
All the orchards golden sweetness
ripened under azure sky.
Like the squirrels of the forest won-
en- folks are full Of thrift
When Queen Nature in her beauty
pours before us gift on gift,
And | seem to read a promise in the
kettles frothy foam
That the summer time will linger in
the heart and in the home.
