THE POOR MAN’S BOOK. 
BY OKO. W. BUNGAY. 
The winds have blown the smoke a way— 
Cold is tlie forge anti hushed the mill; 
The “toil-worn cotter” rests to-d,ty— 
Traffic is mute and Labor still. 
The unharnessed horst feeds on the green, 
The laboring ox rests in the shade; 
A holy calm pervades tlie scene, 
And beauty smiles from hil! and glade. 
The modest flowers that light ihc clod, 
Like drops of sunshine from tlie sky, 
Row their sweet heads and worship God, 
And send their fragrant praise on high. 
Beneath his ffg-trcc and his vine, 
Beside the lowly cottage door, 
The poor man reads the precious line 
Of promise to the humble poor. 
The Bible is tiie poor man’s law, 
A blessed boon to mortals given; 
A ladder such as Jacob saw, 
With angels coming down from Heaven.
