Explore "The Old Home by the Mill" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This is "The old Home by the Mill" -- fer we still call it so, / Although the _old mill_, roof and sill, is all gone long ago. / The old home, though, and the old folks -- the old spring, and a few / Old cattails, weeds and hartychokes, is left to welcome you!
Here, Marg'et! -- fetch the man a _tin_ to drink out of! Our spring / Keeps kindo'-sorto' cavin' in, but don't "_taste_" anything! / She's kindo' _age_in', Marg'et is -- "the _old_ process" -- like me, / All ham-stringed up with rhumatiz, and on in seventy-three.
