Call far. The warm milk hisses in the pails

There in the dusky barn-lot. Crickets cry.

The meadow twinkles with the glowing fly.

One hears the horses munching at their oats.

The green grows black. A veil of slumber floats

Across the haunts of home-enamored men.

Some freak of memory brought back again

The boyhood world of sight and scent and sound:

It perished, and the prairie ringed him round,

Blank as the face of fate. In listless mood
