Note on Husband: Thomas Freeman THICKSTUN - shared note

WROTE: THE OLD FOLKS! WHERE ARE THEY?

 

MY CHILDHOOD HOME! VOICELESS BUT DEAR,

UNIQUE AS IN THE LONG-GONE DAY,

MY CHILDHOOD HOME. IT STILL IS HERE

BUT THE DEAR OLD FOLKS, WHERE ARE THEY?

 

THE GROVES, THE FIELDS ENROBED IN GREEN,

ENCHANT ME AS IN DAYS GONE BY;

THE CLOUDS ENFRINGED IN GOLDEN SHEEN,

YONDER IN QUIET GRANDEUR LIE.

 

ENSWATHED IN PEERLESS LIGHT, I SEE

THE SUN FROM MORN TO EVENTIDE

IN GRAND AND FADELESS MAJESTY,

FROM EAST TO WEST IN GLORY RIDE.

 

KING NIGHT RETURNS. HIS EBEN THRONE,

BESTUD WITH COUNTLESS, OLD-TIME STARS,

ORION, PLEIADES, NONE ARE GONE,-

LED CALMLY ON BY REGAL MARS.

 

THE CHILDREN OF THAT OLDEN HOUR,

THEY GATHER ROUND ME HERE TODAY;

MATURE AND STALWART, MEN OF POWER,

BUT THE DEAR OLD FOLKS, WHERE ARE THEY?

 

IN GLORY! HEAVEN! THEIR WORK WELL DONE,

AMID THE HAPPY, BLOODWASHED THRONG,

WITH SAINTS AND ANGELS ROUND THE THRONE,

THEY SING THE VICTORS JOYFUL SONG.

JULY 13, 1896
