Homcward to the Dear Old State.

Where the sun ana shadow ieli,
Where in childhood We did daily
In the paths We knew so well.
We who love her leagues Of ocean,
Crimson east and islands far,
Yielding up your hearts devotion
| To the hearts awaiting there:
| Ye who are the sons and daughters
| of the dear old state of Maine.
Ye who love her woods and waters
HOmcWard, homcWard come again.
We who look on years of sorrow.
While in distant lands yc roam.
| Hail with joy the glad tomorrow
| That shall turn your footsteps home
| Hath a fathers counsel wrought you
| Place and power in the earth.
| Hath a mothers fond prayer brought You
Virtues crown and truths high worth,
Come. your gifts Of incense bearing.
| Homeward to the dear old state.
Come, your crowns of honor wearing,
Homeward TO the dear old state

the coast. Mr.. Hanna visited the same
places two years ago. and the change
is very marked. Men who then were

supporting it.
