PART I
GOLDEN VALLEY
O worthy friends, at last we’ve met again;
I feel that we have met in days before;
And hope as gladly now as we did then,
To contemplate some things in days of yore;
In those days when our parents still were young,
And we in youth around the school house swung.
It won’t take long—a fleet winged hour or two—
So, let us raise the curtain of the past,
