Comma Home,

Oh, brothers and sisters, growing old,
Do you remember yet
That home in the shade of the rustlng
trees,
Where once our household met?
Do you know how we used to come
from school,
Through the summers pleasant heat;
With the yellow fennell's golden dust
On our tired little feet?
And how, sometimes in idle mood
We loitered by the way;
And stopped in the road to gather
flowers,
And in the fields to play;
Till warned by the deepening shadows
fall,
That told of the coming night,
We climbed to the top of the last long
hill,
And saw our home in sight?
And, brothers and sisters, older now
Than she whose life is Ger,
Do you think of the mothers's loving
face
That looked from the open door?
Alas, for the changing things of timel
That home in the dust lies low;
And that living smile was hid from us,
In the darkness long ago.
And we have come to life's last hill,
From which our weary eyes
Can almost look on the home that
shines
Eternal in the skies.
So, brothers and sisters. as we go,
Still let us move as one,
Always together keeping step,
Till the march of life is done.
For that mother who waited for US here
Wearing a smile so sweet,
Now waits on the hills of Paradise
For her children's coming feet!
