Methinks see the lilacs bad
And hear the b!uebirds sing, my boys;
Why MOTT Yon us,y oak has seen

Peep out with every spriug my boys,
Peep out with every spring.
Old Time his rusty scythe may whet,

Beneith the sbetrrng snow, my boys;
And If the crazy dotafd ask,

Wen gaily answer No my boys,
Well gaily answer No!
For life's bright taper is the same
I owe tipped of old with rosy flame
That heavens own altar lent. my boys,
To glow in every cup ne I'LL
Till lips are mute and he IT'S are sui,
Til life and love are spent, my boys,
