Yes I love the homestead There	A
In the spring the lilacs blew	B
Plenteous perfume everywhere	A
There in summer gladioles grew	B
Parallels of scarlet glare	A
	-
And the moon hued primrose cool	C
Satin soft and redolent	D
Honeysuckles beautiful	E
Filling all the air with scent	F
Roses red or white as wool	G
	-
Roses glorious and lush	H
Rich in tender tinted dyes	I
Like the gay tempestuous rush	H
Of unnumbered butterflies	I
Clustering o'er each bending bush	J
	-
Here japonica and box	K
And the wayward violets	L
Clumps of star enamelled phlox	L
And the myriad flowery jets	L
Of the twilight four o' clocks	L
	-
Ah the beauty of the place	L
When the June made one great rose	L
Full of musk and mellow grace	L
In the garden's humming close	L
Of her comely mother face	L
	-
Bubble like the hollyhocks	L
Budded burst and flaunted wide	M
Gypsy beauty from their stocks	L
Morning glories bubble dyed	M
Swung in honey hearted flocks	L
	-
Tawny tiger lilies flung	N
Doublets slashed with crimson on	O
Graceful slave girls fair and young	N
Like Circassians in the sun	P
Alabaster lilies swung	N
	-
Ah the droning of the bee	Q
In his dusty pantaloons	L
Tumbling in the fleurs de lis	L
In the drowsy afternoons	L
Dreaming in the pink sweet pea	Q
	-
Ah the moaning wildwood dove	R
With its throat of amethyst	S
Rippled like a shining cove	T
Which a wind to pearl hath kissed	S
Moaning moaning of its love	R
	-
And the insects' gossip thin	U
From the summer hotness hid	V
In lone leafy deeps of green	W
Then at eve the katydid	V
With its hard unvaried din	U
	-
Often from the whispering hills	L
Borne from out the golden dusk	X
Gold with gold of daffodils	L
Thrilled into the garden's musk	X
The wild wail of whippoorwills	L
	-
From the purple tangled trees	L
Like the white full heart of night	Y
Solemn with majestic peace	L
Swam the big moon veined with light	Y
Like some gorgeous golden fleece	L
	-
She was there with me And who	B
In the magic of the hour	Z
Had not sworn that they could view	B
Beading on each blade and flower	Z
Moony blisters of the dew	B
	-
And each fairy of our home	A2
Firefly its taper lit	B2
In the honey scented gloam	A2
Dashing down the dusk with it	B2
Like an instant flaming foam	A2
	-
And we heard the calling calling	C2
Of the screech owl in the brake	D2
Where the trumpet vine hung crawling	C2
Down the ledge into the lake	D2
Heard the sighing streamlet falling	C2
	-
Then we wandered to the creek	E2
Where the water lilies growing	C2
Thick as stars lay white and weak	E2
Or against the brooklet's flowing	C2
Bent and bathed a bashful cheek	E2
	-
And the moonlight rippling golden	P
Fell in virgin aureoles	L
On their bosoms half unfolden	P
Where it seemed the fairies' souls	L
Dwelt as perfume unbeholden	P
	-
Or lay sleeping pearly tented	B2
Baby cribbed within each bud	B2
While the night wind piney scented	B2
Swooning over field and flood	B2
Rocked them on the waters dented	B2
	-
Then the low melodious bell	F2
Of a sleeping heifer tinkled	B2
In some berry briered dell	F2
As her satin dewlap wrinkled	B2
With the cud that made it swell	F2
	-
And returning home we heard	B2
In a beech tree at the gate	B2
Some brown dream behaunted bird	B2
Singing of its absent mate	B2
Of the mate that never heard	B2
	-
And you see now I am gray	G2
Why within the old old place	L
With such memories I stay	G2
Fancy out her absent face	L
Long since passed away	G2
	-
She was mine yes still is mine	P
And my frosty memory	Q
Reels about her as with wine	P
Warmed into young eyes that see	Q
All of her that was divine	P
	-
Yes I loved her and have grown	P
Melancholy in that love	R
And the memory alone	P
Of perfection such whereof	R
She could sanctify each stone	P
	-
And where'er the poppies swing	C2
There we walk as if a bee	Q
Bent them with its airy wing	C2
Down her garden shadowy	Q
In the hush the evenings bring	C2
