THE HOr,sE WITH Soponv -, =,

THE HOUSE WITH NOBODY IN IT
whenever | walk 70 suffern along the Erie
track. "
go by poor old farmhouse with ,ts
shingles broken and black
suppose Ive passed Il hundred times
but l always stop for a minute
ana look at the house. the tragic house
the house with nobody In It,
never have seen a haunted house, but !
near th"r" are such things:
That they hold the talk OF spirits tholr
mirth and sorrowinss
l Know this house isn't haunted and wish
It were, do:
For IL wouldn't be so lonely ~ A. L.a
ghost or two.
This house on the road to Suffern needs Il
do2"n pancs Of giass
And somebody ought to weed the walk and
take scythe TO the Erass
IL needs new paint and shingles and tho
vines should be trimmed and tied;
But what II necda tho most Of all is snn,n
people living inside.
II had lot OF money and all my debts
were paid,
ia put lot Of mon to work with brush
and saw and spade.
Ia buy that place and fix II up the way II
used to be,
And I'd find some people who wanted a
homo and give II to them free.
Now. new house standing empty. with
staring window and door,
Looks idle. perhaps, and foolish like a hat
on It's block in the store
But there's nOthiaG mournful about Il: II
cannot be sad and lone
For N" lack Of something within It that
1t has never known
But hous" that has done what a house
should do, house that has sheltered
life.
That has put it's loving wooden arms around
a man and his wife,
house that has echoed a baby's laugh and
held UP his stumbling feet.
Is the sadlest sight when It's left alon.
that ever your eyes could meet.
SO whenever go TO Suffern along the Erie
truck.
never go by IN" empty house without stop
ping and looking back;
Yet II hurts me to look at the crumblIng
roof and the shutters fallen apart
For ] can't help thinking the poor old house
Is housc with a broken heart.
