First Line: There's nothing quite so lonely
Last Line: And memories.
Subject(s): Barns; Memory
There's nothing quite so lonely
As are old barns
Which have long since forgot
The beat of hoofs:
That sound no more
With bleat of lambs,
Or echo with
The herdsman's song;
That smell no more
Of new mown hay,
Or steaming silos
Filled with corn.
There's nothing quite so lonely
As are old barns,
Which are the homes of owls
And memories.
