Show The Return." - - - . The house s-. mc;l builded of honeysuckle.- Clem;v is nr-ppJ the porch. Trump jt vbvs round llie old stone cliim- Lifted a 'scarlet torch. Eose vines wreathed through the broken brok-en windows, And crept through the crumbling doors, Wind-blown petals of dying roses Huddled about the floors. .Again I entered the raftered chambers, Tenanted but by three. A bold brown mouse, a nesting bird, And a beautiful memory. The brown mouse scurried, the nesting bird Whirred out by the broken' pane. But the memory of my childhood ran To welcome me home again.
