Should bind anew the cords Of love,
Aud clasp the friendly hand.
Let memory recall again
The scenes where once we played,
Tn. sloping bank, the babbliDg brook,
The tall elm'5 grateful shade.
The hillside orchard, where we iolel,
Pleased when the task was DER,
Nor dreamed that we should ever sigh
For those bright days Of yore.
The hu,kings and The applc-Jces,
when Auluma's gil;s were stored,
Where work and fun went hand in hand
Till supper graced the board
Our d,as was brown bread, pork and bean,
Pudliug- aud pics 50 sweet,
Grown rich by broodins long, within
The ovens generous heat.
We chased the squirrel, caught bim too,
At blind mans s-buG ran long,
sought the lost button, paid the pawns,
And closed with dance anil song.
Then came our wn.ry walk to school.
The time of joyou- play,
The icy hill where on We sped
