"Grandmother ' s Drawer"

"Grandmother," I said, on a bright susaaay day, As I brushed a31 the specks, a l l the dark spots away, From an ancient drawer against the w a l l that stood, Old fashioned and large, of mahogany wood. "This drawer, dear Grandmother, do bright a& SQ old, Throw open today a d its secrets unfold."

"!Phtit yellow box bring from the dark Corner here, And, awiing, d r a w close t o rrgr old s sekhg ebi~p. ' ' My low seat I placed very neax t o her side, And quietly the box l i d w a thrown open wide. "Ah! Nothing but hair," and I looked into her eyes. Though tear-dimed and failing, they s a w surprise "No! Nothing but hair," her gentle voice said, "The hair of loved ones, the loving9 the dead." Then drawing a lock fpom the thick mmes there, In soft tones she whisperea, "My dear MothesPs hair," Grandmother's mother; with a start 1 compare The long wavy t ress with - her silvery hats. "Yes, Darling, oh yes; then her brown eye shone bright, Like s w i f t bounding deer, was her footetep so l ight , And her s p i r i t wslg; glad, nor the song of the bird Was sweeter than whisperings of love thht were heard,
