A Vendetta of the Hills
Our enchanting years of pleasure, dear, are speeding all too fast,
As our ever-fleeting joys become blest mem’ries of the past.
Heaven’s blessings, glad and golden, strew with bliss the paths of life
When a sweetheart, fond and cheery,
Has her “hubby” for her dearie,
And her “hubby” has a sweetheart for his wife.
