Lonely Farm

By: Lois Kingsley Pelton


The whirling snow, like huge, white petals blown
From heaven's tree, lay piled on fence and road.
The house was old and gray, and all alone,
And past it, storm-winds, roaring hoarsely, strode.


The fields were harvested, and now lay bare.
It seemed a wild, deserted place to me,
That windy evening through the frosted air,
A sad old house beneath a leafless tree.
But, when I entered--what a change I found!


The farmer sat within a clean, warm room,
A rugged man whom summer days had browned.
In catalogues, he read when plants would bloom,
And talked of fertile fields, of sun and seed,
And all the hungry that his land could feed.

I hope you enjoyed your visit to the Crane Family Web sight. If you feel you are part of the family or you see any corretions that need to be done, please e-mail me and let me know. Have a good day and evening. Please stop by often!
