Ye olden time, the long ago
Round which traditions kindly care
An all pervading sentiment
Strives to enwrap. While modern ways
Must not intrude upon, nor mar
By noise or hurry, hustle, jar,
OF what we call improvements march,
With hot-hoof tread and progress grand
Unheeding ancient land marks All
Forgetful Of those hallowed paths
And by-ways, silent, gloomy, dark,
By dust of ages hidden, grim
With memories, sweet because of age,
Which tones down all, and hides from
sight
The things which best forgotten lie
While thriftful air
And daylights glare
Reveal confusion and despair.
