'Hey Bud O Bud ' rang out a gleeful call	A
' The Loehrs is come to your house ' And a small	A
But very much elated little chap	B
In snowy linen suit and tasseled cap	B
Leaped from the back fence just across the street	C
From Bixlers' and came galloping to meet	C
His equally delighted little pair	D
Of playmates hurrying out to join him there	D
' The Loehrs is come The Loehrs is come ' his glee	E
Augmented to a pitch of ecstasy	E
Communicated wildly till the cry	F
' The Loehrs is come ' in chorus quavered high	F
And thrilling as some paean of challenge or	G
Soul stirring chant of armied conqueror	H
And who this avant courier of 'the Loehrs'	E
This happiest of all boys out o' doors	E
Who but Will Pierson with his heart's excess	E
Of summer warmth and light and breeziness	E
'From our front winder I 'uz first to see	E
'Em all a drivin' into town ' bragged he	E
'An' seen 'em turnin' up the alley where	D
Your folks lives at An' John an' Jake wuz there	D
Both in the wagon yes an' Willy too	I
An' Mary Yes an' Edith with bran new	I
An' purtiest trimmed hats 'at ever wuz	E
An' Susan an' Janey An' the Hammonds uz	E
In their fine buggy 'at they're ridin' roun'	I
So much all over an' aroun' the town	I
An' ever 'wheres them city people who's	E
A visutin' at Loehrs uz '	J
	-
Glorious news	E
Even more glorious when verified	K
In the boys' welcoming eyes of love and pride	K
As one by one they greeted their old friends	E
And neighbors Nor until their earth life ends	E
Will that bright memory become less bright	L
Or dimmed indeed	M
	-
Again at candle light	L
The faces all are gathered And how glad	N
The Mother's features knowing that she had	N
Her dear sweet Mary Loehr back again	I
She always was so proud of her and then	I
The dear girl in return was happy too	I
And with a heart as loving kind and true	I
As that maturer one which seemed to blend	O
As one the love of mother and of friend	O
From time to time as hand in hand they sat	P
The fair girl whispered something low whereat	P
A tender wistful look would gather in	I
The mother eyes and then there would begin	I
A sudden cheerier talk directed to	P
The stranger guests the man and woman who	P
It was explained were coming now to make	Q
Their temporary home in town for sake	Q
Of the wife's somewhat failing health Yes they	R
Were city people seeking rest this way	R
The man said answering a query made	P
By some well meaning neighbor with a shade	P
Of apprehension in the answer No	I
They had no children As he answered so	I
The man's arm went about his wife and she	E
Leant toward him with her eyes lit prayerfully	E
Then she arose he following and bent	P
Above the little sleeping innocent	P
Within the cradle at the mother's side	P
He patting her all silent as she cried	P
Though haply in the silence that ensued	P
His musings made melodious interlude	P
	-
In the warm health giving weather	H
My poor pale wife and I	F
Drive up and down the little town	I
And the pleasant roads thereby	F
Out in the wholesome country	E
We wind from the main highway	R
In through the wood's green solitudes	I
Fair as the Lord's own Day	R
	-
We have lived so long together	H
And joyed and mourned as one	I
That each with each with a look for speech	S
Or a touch may talk as none	I
But Love's elect may comprehend	P
Why the touch of her hand on mine	I
Speaks volume wise and the smile of her eyes	I
To me is a song divine	I
	-
There are many places that lure us	I
'The Old Wood Bridge' just west	P
Of town we know and the creek below	E
And the banks the boys love best	P
And 'Beech Grove ' too on the hill top	T
And 'The Haunted House' beyond	P
With its roof half off and its old pump trough	U
Adrift in the roadside pond	P
	-
We find our way to 'The Marshes'	I
At least where they used to be	E
And 'The Old Camp Grounds' and 'The Indian Mounds '	-
And the trunk of 'The Council Tree '	-
We have crunched and splashed through 'Flint bed Ford'	P
And at 'Old Big Bee gum Spring'	Q
We have stayed the cup half lifted up	V
Hearing the redbird sing	Q
	-
And then there is 'Wesley Chapel '	-
With its little graveyard lone	I
At the crossroads there though the sun sets fair	D
On wild rose mound and stone	I
A wee bed under the willows	I
My wife's hand on my own	I
And our horse stops too And we hear the coo	Q
Of a dove in undertone	I
	-
The dusk the dew and the silence	I
'Old Charley' turns his head	P
Homeward then by the pike again	I
Though never a word is said	P
One more stop and a lingering one	I
After the fields and farms	I
At the old Toll Gate with the woman await	P
With a little girl in her arms	I
	-
	-
The silence sank Floretty came to call	E
The children in the kitchen where they all	E
Went helter skeltering with shout and din	I
Enough to drown most sanguine silence in	I
For well indeed they knew that summons meant	P
Taffy and popcorn so with cheers they went	P
