Morning and Evening (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Morning and Evening

The Old Homestead.

With teeming thoughts and memories,
We started on our way,
As in the east the rosy light Proclaimed the new-born day;
Slow rolled the cumbrous coach along
O'er road as rough as drear,
And brought us to the spot, at last,
To memory so dear.

And there it stood, the Old Homestead,
Just as it stood of yore,
The green vines climbing up its sides,
And blooming round the door;
The birds sang in the same old trees, -
Their melody the same
As when, at first, beneath their shade,
Long years ago we came.
