For Woman’s Work.
BY LILLIAN L. LOCKWOOD.
I.
The school house where, in early day,
I passed my childhood time away,
Shows traces now of rank decay: *
The twining ivy softly weaves
The mantle of its glossy leaves
Along the lichen-covered eaves,
As if to hide, from stranger face,
The marks that naught can e’er effaee—
The waning of the dear old place;
But all its care cannot suppress
The fact, it fain would not confess,
Os crumbling into uselessness.
11.
I see within the open door
The slanting sunshine on the floor,
Where we were wont, in days of yore,
To watch the lazy shadows crawl—
Until with j oy we saw it fall
Athwart the noon-mark on the wall.
All else within my vision’s range,
In evidence of ceaseless change,
Bears over all appearance strange;
Save now and then there lingers still,
On deep-scarred wall or window-sill,
Rude traces of our pen-knives’ skill.
111.
Beneath the gnarled old locust trees,
From which each soft redolent breesa
Bears hum of busy, toiling bees,
A group of noisy children play
At games, though new, as blithe and gay
As those I played in early day:—
And here and there, in form and face,
I can a faint resemblance trace
To those who occupied their place
In other years, a happy band,
Though here together hand in hand,
Are scattered now throughout the land.
IV.
While looking back, across the years,
All of the joys, the hopes, the fears,
Forgotten are. as re-appears
In mam’ry’s hall, the merry throng
That trod these verdant paths along
With me in happy years agone:—
Assembling thus, as in review,
They clearer bring within my view
The changes we are passing through;
My failing strength I realize,
I note the dimness of my eyes,
My trembling voice, and deep drawn sighs.
V.
And pond’ring thus bringssweetest peace,
For soon my wanderings will cease,
And fleeting time-bring glad release;
For like the school house, old and gray,
I show the trace of passing day,
Ajid soon will pass from earth away:—
And softly willjthe ivy vine
Its leaves and tendrils thickly twine
Above this battered frame of mine;
And others passing to and fro
Throughout the years that come and go,
Will take no thought of her below.
A FAITHFUL WOMAN-OF INFANCY THE STAY, OF AGE THE COMFORTER.
ATHENS, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER, 1893.
