And the sweet old songs we used to sing,
Coming from school in the field,
Oh the joy that in their tones did ring,
No music oil earth will yield.
And the old oak trees that grew in 4 clurp,

Where the ghost that reigned might be only

With no clasping hand to quiet our fear,
But all alone III the strife
