There's no morbfiij-t ou tbe farm
Do you rcmomber the sweet June morn,
When first to this home you -came. ,.
How tbe blushes mantled your dimpled
. cheeks, , . v -
When they called you by my name?
Your bair was ss brown a the robin's wio
Your step at the fawn's wa free :
Yon little knew of life's burden tlicu.
But, wile you bave live to see
No morbjaije upon the farm.
Your coursge and cheery smiles have
made .
One long, long summer here.
For you the ruse half hid their tborur,
And bopo Sang all Ihe year.
Aud now your wedding-ring grown J.kiu,
And silver threads in your bsir.
You, Mollis, who half my griefs bavo
borne,
Shall all my rapture share :
Ho morufiuie is on tbe far
farm!
' And when our boys and girls onme home.
They will tee bowyowiir we've grown,
Aud w wider what fairy came to bless '
The old couple left alone.
Then we'll poiut to oar fields of waving;

To the hills where onr cattle stray.
Nor will we forget the Giver of all
As we proudly, thankfully say :
There's mo moitjiye upon our farm t"
