Little Town So long this little town was my whole world: Deep sky. low-lying hills, and waters purled. My home now wears an unfamiliar face; New owners always want to change a place. The faces that I loved are there no more: A modern shop replaced the country store The small schoolhouse has long outgrown its need; New buildings stand where farmers planted seed. Beloved old church has fallen to decay: The white spires of a new one greet the day. All is not changed; the hills remain the same: The sunset dies with well-remembered flame The sun-baked slopes still yield the ripened gram; The cows trudge to the pasture, down the lane And when the valley dons its cloak of white. The lights glow in the darkness of the night. But most of all. when lilacs drip with rain. My memories and my heartstrings they enchain
