And your eyes grow blurred while looking at the long and crowded street. Till it fades into the country's lanes and fields you used to roam, And on memory's canvas then is spread the old farm home. The old farm home With the blooming apple orchard, With the little garden plot, With the milk house cool and dripping, With the level pasture lot; With the rasters loudly crowing, With the ruckling of hens, With the Hinging of tbe meadow lurks, And chattering wrens; There's no picture done hy painters From I'aris or from Home, That can thrill you like the memories Of the old farm home. Vou fellows in the city, don't you some times wish that you Could sit on the kitchen porch just liks you used to do, And look across the meadows at the dis tant spires if town? While In-hind the black west-woodland the red sun filtered down; While the evening winds were snapping the blossoms from the trees, And the old don looked up at you with his paws upon your knees. There's no spot that you love hitter be neath the azure dome Than the kingdom of your boyhood the old farm home.
