FIFTY YEARS AGO!

a song for the early times out West.
And our green old forest home.
Whose pleasant memories freshly yet.
Across the bosom come;
a song for the .ree and gladstone life
la those early days we led,
With teeming soil beneath our feet,
And smiling heaven o'erhead!
On, the waves Of life danced merrily.
Aud had Joyous flow.
In the days when we were pioneers,
Fifty years agn,
We shunn'd not labOur: when twas du,
We wrought with right good viii;
And for the home we won for them,
Our children bless us still.
We lived not hermit lives, but oft
In social converse met:
And fires for love were klndlcd then,
That burn on warmly yet.
oh, pleasantly the stream OF life
Pursued It's constant How,
In the days when we were pioneers.
Fifty years ago!
we leit that we were fellow men:
We felt we were Il band
Sustain'd mere in the wilderness
by Heavens uphOldIng hand.
And when the solemn sabbath came,
We gathered In the wood.
Aud lifted up our hearts In prayer
To God, the only good.
Our temples then were earth and sky;
None Others did we know
In the days when we were pioneers,
Fifty years ago.
Our forest life was rough and rude.
And dangers closed us round.
But here, amid the green old trees,
Freedom we sought and found.
Another land, more bright than this.
To our dim sight appears.
And on our way to IL we'll soon
Again be pioneers.
Yet while we linger. we may all
A backward glance still throw
To the days when we were pioneers.
Fifty years ago!
