Where my mother and sat together;
Oh, the mansion is gone,
And the barn fallen together,
But the love that was then shall not die.
CHORUS.
Let the mansion be gone,
And the barn fallen together,
But the clouds still above us are true, "
AS l sit in the door sill Of my newly bull
cottage,
And think when we sat there, two by two.
All my recent homes are pleasant,
But none can exceed the joys Of the past
gone by.
With no loving hand to guide me
On the very dear way
To my mother now in Paradise.
Once more I hold the threshold,
And tears begin to start,
As l think of the past gone by,
As we sat in the door sill, my mother and l,
In a cottage built by the river side.
