THAT OLD LOG HOUSE
WHERE USED TO BE OUR
FARM.
BY D. TOD GILLIAM, COLUMBUS, OHIO.
They ain't no houses anywhere what makes
a feelin' so warm,
As that old house, up 'mong the trees,
where used to be our
farm.
That house wer' built of logs, an'
chinked an' daubed all 'roun',
Inside them logs wer' one big room, what
kivered lots o' groun'.
The clapboard roof, held down by poles,
as ev'rybody knowed,
Wer' proof agin the rain an' snow, 'cept
when it rained or
snowed.
The doors was paw'ful hefty, an' hung on
hick'ry wood,
An' opened with a latch-string; special
them what front-ways
stood.
The winders wern't so many, nor wern't
so awful bright,
They stood 'longside them front-way
doors an' guv but little light.
The floors was made of puncheon, the
hearth wer' made of clay,
