Table of Contents

(An Acrostic.)

Hast thou a heart that clings to other days,

A hand that would the page of history turn,

Where strangers in a strange new world must learn

The life of pioneers by arduous ways;

Hoping in time from virgin woods to claim,

Out of that citadel of nature's strength,

Reward of labor in a home, at length;

None with such worthy aim should toil in vain.

Let such a one to Hawthorn Lodge repair,

Open the gate; explore the treasured wood;

Delve in the soil where once brave structures stood;

Gather the bloom; inhale the perfumed air;

Enriched in mind and soul, by sojourn there.
