Honeysuckles of OLD Memories

Honeysuckies of OLD Memories
I locked the door upon little room
Which held bunch Of honeysuckle
bloom;
Split cornucopias, cream and fading
That ali the need Of bee-desiring hold;
Sprays Of green oblong leaf and per-
fume rare,
The very soul Of summer hidden there,
Next day I came, and when l turned
the key

And 50, perhaps if I should come Some
day
To that hearts chamber where lie
shut away
Ghosts Of old gardens and old drum OF
bees
And honeysucklos. Of old memories.
Some virtue in dry leaves might yet

of the Main Street Free Baptist

molished to be replaced by a modern
