A holly tree grew near the first
school of my youth
And here our teachers taught us
the beauties of truth.
Life then was complete with my
name on the roll,
Our quest was education and
wisdom the goal.
Lessons, then recess, romping and
racing were fun,
BY the singing brook that raced
away in the sun.
At noon in the shade we learned
about trees
Why velvet moss grew on the north
side of these.
And up until then, when 1 was
going on ten,
There had been three teachers, they
were good men.
My school days there came to an
end, faces grow dim,
Some 1 am sure the Master has
called home to Him.
There is something precious, youth
perhaps, care free,
In my memories of that school with
its holly tree.
