The waving felds the sparkling rills,
The sun from heaven heaming;
Still Of the schoolhouse III The hills
In manhood ages dreaming.
Just behind it flowed the brooks.
And forest where birds were singing;
And boys and girls with lunch
and books
Came as the bell was ringing.
The studies of the day begun,
The sun slow through the west
descended:
Until again the day was done
And then our studies ended.
In the early morning fogs,
When the moon and stars were
setting;
Our lunch we ate on the logs
And all life's cares forgetting.
Urged by the teacher then we would,
Play at hide and-seek and ball.
For The teacher kind did what she
could
To cheer us all.
Often in my mind appears,
Tho time is swiftly passing;
A maiden OF some fifteen years
Whose beauty is unsurpassing
There often as wintery sun,
Slow thro' the west was burning;
When the studies of the day
were dore
And the children were home
returning.
Slow down the road dark eyed lad,
Walked with a maiden fair;
He shared with her the joys he had
| AS they walked together there.
Her heart and hand to him she gave,
To cheer his gloom AMI sadness;
Each evening she saw his farewell
wave
| And their hearts o'erhowed with
gladness.
