For the mountains, the plain, and the clear running brook, Enraptured my heart at the very first look. As I called up to mind the sweet scenes of past days, Where I oft used to gambol in juvenile plays. The merry sleigh-ridc — our pranks on the ice. Where we mounted our skates, and were off in a trice; Then I hied me to school, nor tarried to play, But studied my book the living long day. My kind little mates, whithi^r have you all fled? Full many, alas! to the land of the dead! There I was fir...st taught to love the " Good Book," And I bless my kind parents when in it I look. And each Sabbath morn I to church did repair, And at eve to my parents would repeat the Lord's Frayer; In all my far wanderings, by land or by sea, The sweet recollection is most precious to rne. Sweet scenes of my childhood, how dear to my heart, And must I, 0! must I from thee over pare? Hold up, gallant ship, lot me take one look n)ore At yonder sweet bluli', my owa nutive shore. 272 cotton's keefsake.
