As viewed their former treasure
Rolling eggs in long ago.
Fifty years of joy and sorrow
Through the rain and sun and snow
Bring me back the past tomorrow,
When felt no grief or woe.

In their upland mystic play.

Boys and girls We loved TO know
Still are laughing, dancing dreaming
Rolling eggs since long ago!
