II LITTLE OAK
CHAIR
BY GRACE E. HALL


THERE'S a little black mound on
the hillside today
That was not there a short year ago,
And a little oak chair in the closet
must stay,
When the others are placed in a
row;
And a little checked apron, that she
useds to wear,
Is hanging, all crumpled, beside of the
chair.
In a little blue room that Is empty and
cold
There is standing a little white bed,
And a gay little mirror, with flowers
OF gold,
Seems waiting to frame a dark
head;
In a low-wicker cradle beside Of the
wall,
Untouched lies a treasure-her bat
tered rag doll.
There's a twisted red tam on a nail
by the door,
And a coat that has buttons but
three,
Though their owner will need them,
alas! nevermore,
They hold their old place tenderly;
And a bit Of a scarf, with the needles
awry,
Is there in her basket of knitting,
laid by.
Oh the berries will glow on the holly,
blood-red.
And prayers will be mumbled and
fast
As little bare feet scamper swiftly to
bed,
The waiting of weary months past:
The stockings will hang by the crate
In 4 row
But the little black mound will be IN
der the snow;
And the seats vial be placed by the
board, Ctstehmas day,
But the little OAK chair III the closet
must stay.
