    THE OLD TRUNDLE BED.
Ob, the old trundle bed where 1 slept
when a boy,
What panoplied knight might not covet
the joy?
The (lory and pence of that slumber of
mine,
Like a long, gracious rest in the bosom
divine;
The <><■ aint, homely couch, bidden close
from the light,
But daintily drawn from its hiding at
night.
Ob, a nest of delight, from the foot to
the head.
Was the queer little, dear little, old trun­
dle bed.
Oh, the old trundle bed where I wonder­
ing saw
The slurs through the window, and list­
ened with awe
To the sigh of the winds as they treui
blingly crept
Through the trees where the robins so
restlessly slept,
Where I heasd the low, murmurous chirp
of the wren,
And the katydid listlessly chirrup again,
Through the maze of the dreams of the
old trundle bed.
Ob, the old trundle bed! Oh, the old
trundle bed!
With Its plump little pillow anil old fash­
ioned spread;
Its snowy white sheets and the blankets
above,
Smoothed down and tucked around with
the touches of love;
The video of my mother to lull me to
sleep
With the. old fairy stories my memories
keep
Still fresh as the lillies that bloom o'er
the head
Once bowed o'er my own in the old trun­
dle bed.
