With the green bouehs overhead.
The house all garnished and swept,
And the plentiful table spread.
She has stood to welcome our coming.
Watching our upward climb,
In the sweet June weather that brought US
Oh. many and many a timel
Again in her doorway opened,
And the house is garnished and sweet,
But she silently waits for our coming,
And we enter with silent feet
A little within she is waiting.
Not where she has met US before.
For over the pleasant threshold
She is only to cross once more.
The smile on her face is quiet.
And flower is on her breast,
Her hands are folded together,
And the word on lips is rest.
But somewhere yet in the hlltops
OF the country that hath no pain.
She will watch in her beautiful doorway
To bid us a welcome again"
