The moon shines down on the old home tonight
And the stars look down as they died before
Over the landscape the evening light
Gleams forth from the skies as of yore.
Though my own eyes are not there to see •
Friends are gone and my neighbors and frees
Shadows of memories of thA ones that did eare
Gone are the days that I once lived there.
The building at once stood there, shone out a light
From stable to house the lanternas britht
When evening would fall on the d rkest of night

We would sit in the parlor; the lamp on the stand. ,
Looking acrossthe distant span
And once in a while We would see lights on the shore
Of cars disappearing, and,iater some more.
I had hopes.somewhere else the house would stand
Maybe looking different and grand
In my past home another would spend
And the old woodwork kept nice'by other hands
Till the end of their lives and another end.
Sometime arghost of a house will appear
Only in memory but not on land
The same with the barn, the shadows are near
On the darkest of night it will be kind of'dYear.

No footsteps to travel from house to barn,
• The windows are dark and look forelorn
What of the future, no orie can tell
In the years to come where no one will dwell.
I know not what the future holds
Of house and lumber only the owner knows
By the fate of the building, which now is there.
