I am travel-worn and dusty,

I have wandered long and restless,

I have come from distant regions,

To behold this treasured school-house,

See again its wall all penciled,

With the names I well remember,

With the deeds of my school-fellows;

To review once more the playground,

Where my boyhood’s days were merry;

Jackman’s Cave, the pond, the meadow,
