Then. Flying them to the wins and
9:57
are the law. bad
10:00
I remember, I remember, I asked where I was
10:02
born, the little window
10:04
where the sun came peeping
10:22
in at morn. He
10:25
never came in a wink too soon nor
10:28
brought too long a day, but
10:31
now I often wished the night had
10:33
borne my breath away. I
10:37
remember, I remember, the
10:40
roses red and white, the
10:43
violets and the lily-cops, those
10:46
flowers made of night, the
10:50
lilacs where the robin bow and
10:53
where my brother sat, the
10:55
labranum on his birthday, the trees
10:58
living yet. I
11:02
remember, I remember, where
11:04
I was used to sway and
11:07
thought the air was rushed as fresh
11:09
to swallow as on the way. My
11:14
spirit flew and feathers down, that
11:17
is so heavy now, and
11:20
summer bulls could hardly call the fever
11:22
on my brow. I
11:27
remember, I remember, the
11:29
fir trees dark and high, I
11:33
used to think they were slender tops to
11:35
work close against the sky. It
11:39
was a childish ignorance, but
11:41
now, to his little joy, to know
11:45
him farther off from heaven than
11:48
when I was a boy. The
11:56
Deserted garden. I'm

counteract pal. Account
21:14
of my father. The dairy
21:16
house now. And in
21:18
the rude. And
21:20
the well. That
21:25
moss covered barca. I hailed
21:27
as treasure. For often
21:29
and no. One return from the
21:31
sale. At
21:34
the source of an exquisite
21:36
pleasure the purest and sweetest
21:38
let nature to you. How
21:44
Art and I saved up. with

21:54
Sound with the emblem of
21:56
truth over falling and dripping
21:58
with course. rose from the
22:00
wealth. How
22:05
sweet from the green, mossy
22:07
brown to receive it, as
22:10
poised to the curb it
22:12
inclined to my lips. Not
22:15
a full, blushing goblet could tempt me
22:18
to leave it, though
22:20
filled with the nectar that
22:22
Jupiter accepts. And
22:26
now, far removed from the
22:29
lovest habitation, the
22:31
tear of regret will intrusively
22:34
swell. That
22:36
fancy reverts to my father's
22:38
plantation, and sighs for
22:40
the bucket that hung in the wild. In
22:50
school days, Stell
22:55
sets the schoolhouse by the
22:58
road, a ragged
23:00
beggar sunning. Around
23:03
it, Stell, the sumac grow, and
23:06
blackberry vines are running. And
23:12
then, the master's desk is seen, deep
23:14
scarred by a ramp's official. The
23:18
warping floor, the battered seats, the
23:21
jackknife's carved initial. The
23:26
charcoal frescoes on its wall, its
23:29
door is worn itself, betraying.
23:33
The feet that creeping slow to the
23:35
school, when storming out
23:37
to play. Long
23:42
years ago, the winter sun shone
23:45
over it, its setting, lit
23:48
up its western window panes, and
23:52
locaged icy Friday. Don't
23:57
touch the tangle or golden curls. and
24:00
brown eyes full of grieving. Of
24:03
one who's still, her steps delay
24:06
when all the school were leaving. For
24:11
near her stood the little boy, her
24:14
childish flavor is single. His
24:17
cat pulled down upon a face,
24:20
where pride and shame were mingled. Pushing
24:26
with restless feet the snow
24:29
to right and left he lingered. As
24:33
restlessly her tiny hands the
24:35
blue-checked apron fingered. He
24:41
saw her left her eyes. He
24:44
felt the soft hands like caressing
24:48
and heard the tremble of her voice as
24:51
if a folk confessing. I'm
24:56
sorry that I spelt the word. I
24:59
had to go above you. Because
25:01
the brown eyes lower foul because
25:04
you see I love you. Still
25:09
memory to a gray-haired man that
25:12
sweet child-face is showing. Dear
25:16
girl, the grass is on
25:18
her grave have forty years
25:21
been growing. He
25:25
lives to learn in life's hard
25:27
school. How few who
25:29
pass above him lament
25:32
their triumph and his loss like
25:35
her because they love him.
25:43
Woodman, spare that tree.
25:49
Woodman, spare that tree. Touch
25:53
not a single bough and
25:55
you that sheltered me And
25:58
I'll protect it now. It
26:01
was my forefathers had. A
26:04
poster there has got. Their
26:07
woodman let it stand. Up
26:10
acts some and. Well
26:15
familiar tree. Has
26:17
a glory and we're now. At
26:20
our land and say. And
26:23
