In Lonesomeville the hours go by
AS silent as the clouds on high;
The little lake reflects no more
The foliage green about the shore,
But colors rich, where leaves that die
Would gayly bid brave goodbye.
The stream that through the rocks is
tossed
All shivering now awaits the frost.
And yet the quiet of the scene
Shows nature in a mood serene,
Afar from human hate and fear,
From friendship false and subtle aneer
Far from the tumult fierce or gay,
Where night seems brighter than the
day.
There simple toll must do its share
As warmth and shelter men prepare;
Remote, mysterious and still
Yet life seems good at Lonesomevllle.
