The Old Farmhouse
How dear to my heart is the old farmhouse v
My boyhood home that I loved sowell i
The old fashioned gable and mosscovered roof
Still fresh In my memory dwellsA honeysuckle climbed the un
painted sideAnd twined above window and
doorA spinning wheel stood in the wide
roomy hallAnd the sunshine lay warm on the
floor
spring bubbled up among thewhite rocks
Far up in the glen deep and coolHow oft have I stopped to quench
my thirstWhen returning home from school
The winding path that leads to thecreek
That was spanned by a fallen tree-
Wasa favorite resort on SaturdayeveWhen from school and work I was
free-
Somehow the stars shine brighterthere
Than any Ive ever since seennightingale sang sweeter there
And bathed in the moons silverysheen
My mothers arm chair near thewindow stood
A table pulled close byits sideAnd on it was laid with reverent
careTho old family bible her Joy and
pride
In the long winter evenings whoacandles were lit
On a stool I sat at her feetAn sho told me the story of Elisha
of oldHow the ravens fed him with meat
Or how tho beggar sat at the richmans gate
And bogged for the crumbs thatfell
How tho rich man died in Godsgood time
And lifted up his eyes in hell
Tho years have been long slats I leftthe old home
Ive traveled many a weary mileBut tho picture of mother in the old
arm chairHas beon with me all tho while
And many a time when heart soroanti sick
While traveling on lifes wearyroad
The thought of her and her wellworn Book
Would lighten tho burdensomeload TIMMIE
