SONGS THEY USED TO SING.

The songs I used to know
In the dear old country village.
OF the dear old long ago.
] kinder like the music of
Ben Bolt' and other tunes
They sung among the cedars
In the scented, amorous Junes,
When the sunlight Of the season
Glinting where the grasses spread,
Where the roses fell in clusters,
Blushing sweetly, deeply red
All, yes, l like the old songs,
The kind they used to sing
When life was like primrose
Just bursting in the spring.
] kinder like the old songs
Heard on the old playground
king William was King James
Son."
Just swingin' round and round;
Bowing to the east sometimes,
And sometimes to the west
And I used to pick a sweetheart,
The one l loved the best.
And while they just kept circling
Round in pretty, childish bliss,
/ knelt beside the lassie there,
And stole the first sweet kiss
I'd like to sing king William" now,
Just like l used to sing
When life was like a primrose
Just bursting in the spring.
Somehow l like the old songs
Yes, 1.-The Maple on the Hill,'
"Some Twenty Years Ago, Tom,"
And dear old "Whippoorwill;'
And STARRY Night for Ramble,"
And Coming Through the Rye"
And other dear old melodies
They sang to you and L
All, yes, l like the old songs.
The kind they used to sing
When life was like a primrose
Just bursting in the spring.
