We gathered ferns and moses, buds and
lichens, too;
But oh, me; the barbed wire fences that
| we had to 20 tro';
We roamed the sunny hillsides and
through the lovely dell
But when the hour and half had fled
we didn't hear the bell.
AT last becoming weary we started off tc
school,
And now after spending some time in
freedom, we mustagain obey the rule.
