Set in a garden wall; Beyond the light lies still; On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk Very willing and weary feet When the thrushes call. Go over that sill. There is nothing to trouble any heart Nothing to hurt at all. Death is only a quiet door In an old garden wall. 122 Pat ronize our lyjearhooh Ich erf iderd 123 Uintah State Bank Member of Federal Deposci Insurance Corporation Vernal Utah % mm SECURITY THROUGH SAVING FOR TOP-QUALITY PRODUCTS VISIT THE Quality Drug 25 NECCH1 and the ELNA. the world s greatest homemakeis, do more sewing jobs automatically than any other makes.
