REMINISCENCES OF LYNN

The remembrance of our youth

Is as a summer day, and brighter gleams

As the dark shadow of our life grows deep,

There is no home so dear to us as that

Which reared our childhood, and its pleasant scenes

Rise, dear to memory’s eye. Those old trees

Under whose shade our merry sports went on

Are dear as ancient friends. My early home!

While memory lives, thy peaceful, happy scenes
