| The Years Between
By Anne Campbell 1962
Oh, just to span the years between
And go back home for Hallowe'en!
The low brown house, the willow tree,
The welcome that there used to be!
The corn crib, bursting with its gold;
The granary with wealth untold;
The pumpkins on the cellar floor;
The smokehouse and the farmhouse door!
The farmhouse door that opened wide
To all the sweet content inside;
To tranquil days and simple dreams;
To flower-grown sills and brown oak beams;
To taffy pulls and pleasures gay....
Quaint joys that vanished yesterday!
Oh, just to span the years between
And go back home for Hallowe'en! | |
