THE SPELLS OF HOME. 



[Br MRS IlEMANS.] 



By the soft green light in the woody glail'-. 

 On the banks of moss where thy chiUlhooJ j^I^v 

 By the wavinj; free through which thine evo 

 First look'd in love to the summer sky ; 

 By the dewy gleam, by the very breath, 

 Of the primrose tufts in Ihe grass beneath. 

 Upon thy hcari then; is laid a spell — 

 Holy and precious — oh .' gii^rd it well ! 



By the sleeping ripple of the stream, 

 Which hath luUM thee into m:uiy a duaui : 

 By the shiver of tlie ivy leaves, 

 To the wind of morn at Ihy casement cave; : 

 By the bees' deep murmur in the limef. 

 By the music of the sabba'.h chimes; 

 By every sound of thy native shade, 

 Stronger and dearer (he spell is made. 



By the gathering; round l!ie VvitiUr hearlh 



When twilight calPd unio household iiiii!',! ; 



By the fairy tale or the legend old 



In that ring of happy faces told, 



By the quiet hours when hearts unite 



In. the parting prayer and the kind "good iji^iit •."■ 



Bf the smiling eye and loving tone,. 



Over thy life has the spell been thrown. 



AnJ bless that gift I— it hath gentle mighf. 

 A guardian power and guiding light I 

 It hath led the freeman forth to slriiid 

 In the moualain battles of his land ; 

 It hath brought the wanderer o'er l!ic st;i;. 

 To die on the hills of his own fresh breeze ; 

 And back to the gates of his father's hall, 

 It hath won the weeping prodigal. 



Yes ! when thy heart in its pride would stray, 



From the loves of its guileless youth away ; 



When the sullying breath of the world would come, 



O'er the Bowers it brought from its chihlhopd's home ; 



Think thou again of the woody glade, 



And the sound by the rustling ivy made. 



Think of the (reo at thy pareiits' door, 



.And the kindly spell shall have power once men 1
