After Long Grief And Pain.

Topics: classic

There is a place hung o'er with summer boughs     And drowsy skies wherein the gray hawk sleeps;     Where waters flow, within whose lazy deeps,     Like silvery prisms that the winds arouse,     The minnows twinkle; where the bells of cows     Tinkle the stillness, and the bob-white keeps     Calling from meadows where the reaper reaps,     And children's laughter haunts an old-time house;     A place where life wears ever an honest smell     Of hay and honey, sun and elder-bloom -     Like some dear, modest girl - within her hair:     Where, with our love for comrade, we may dwell     Far from the city's strife whose cares consume -     Oh, take my hand and let me lead you there.
