Well, let them smile, and live to know, A life which still is good and sweet; That whisper of the Eternal Sea. As low my fires of drift-wood burn, His own sweet songs that time shall not forget. We call the old time back to thee; Earth shall be near to Heaven when all Alone is love of God and man. I pray, God bless the good old town! Take the warm welcome of new friends with thee, That the New England, with the Old, holds fast The gift of song which fills the air to-day A feeling of old summer days, And heaven's eternal years shall prove Dreaming of long gone summer days like this, I sit alone, and watch the warm, sweet day Will welcome thy new year, Thy hand, old friend! ./cache/9585.txt ./txt/9585.txt
