No warmer valley hides behind Yon wind -scourged sand-dunes, cold and bleak ; No fairer river comes to seek The wave-sung welcome of the sea, Or mark the northmost border line Of sun-loved growths of nut and vine. Here, ground-fast in their native fields, Untempted by the city s gain, The quiet farmer folk remain Who bear the pleasant name of Friends, And keep their fathers gentle ways And simple speech of Bible days ; 84 Mabel Martin In whose neat homesteads woman holds With modest ease her eq...ual place, And wears upon her tranquil face The look of one who, merging not Her self-hood in another s will, Is love s and duty s handmaid still. Pass with me down the path that winds Through birches to the open land, Where, close upon the river strand, You mark a cellar, vine o errun, Above whose wall of loosened stones The sumach lifts its reddening cones, And the black nightshade s berries shine, And broad, unsightly burdocks fold The household ruin, century-old. Here, in the dim colonial time Of sterner lives and gloomier faith, A woman lived, tradition saith, Who wrought her neighbors foul annoy, And witched and plagued the country side, Till at the hangman s hand she died.
