HOMELY THINGS.
(Sent in by Edith Ivey. 12, Te Kumi Road, Te Kuiti). A spotless kitchen, cream and red, A chequered floor and new-baked bread, A cup of tea, and buttered toast, Rich creamy milk, "Oh look! the post!" Candlesticks of gleaming brass, (These are things I cannot pass), A copper scuttle winking there, Competing ■ with the firelight's' glare. A rocking chair with mother in it, A round-faced clock to tell each minute Candles blue, and well-worn books, Delight me with their cheery looks. Twilight and night-scented stocks, Marigolds and Ijojlyhocks, Bedroom tiles and clean white spread, To welcome me into my bed.
11l search of beauty let folks roam, I find it* here. All this spells "home."
