GRANDMOTHER'S CHAIR.

Grandmother sits in her easy chair

Softly humming some old-time air;

And as she sings, her needles keep pace

With the smiles that flit o'er her wrinkled face;

While the fire-light flickers, and fades away,

And comes again like the breaking day.

From morning till evening she knits and sings,

While ever the pendulum tireless swings
