Where she wrote on a 'card that 1 carry still--
And will 'to the end o my days—
"He will' give His .angels charge over thee
TO,. keep thee in all thy ways."
Oh -4 -life was carefree in those halcyon days
And I learned a great deal of Nature's ways
As I walked in the night through snow -bound fields
Where rabbits danced to the moon,
And field mice played tag in; the old corn shooks
Watched by a fox and a 'coon.
I remember the lights of the General Store
And its pot-bellied stove,—how it used to , roar—
And the folks that gathered not only to shop
. But to pass the time o' the day, 4 °
And swap recipes and debate the week's news
Ere they `left on their homeward way....
The sleighing parties and .skating, too,
The way you taught me to ,dance with you,
The snowshoe hikes and the wiener, roasts.. .
And the song we sang, "Sweet and Low"-r--
Oh—Ill -always' remember the old home town best
In a 'background of starlight ,and, snow.
