- (continued from previous page)In childhood's happy home.Hushed is the violen's sweet sound,
All hushed the dancers' feet,
Save when some unforgetting friends,
In glad re-union meet:
Again the dear old walls resound,
'Till daylights dawn has come,
And then we part, with heavy hearts,
From childhood's happy home. I murmur not at Fate's decree,
Nor seek her course to bend,
For friends more dear surround me here,
And every wish attend;
Yet oftentimes shall I return,
Thro; field and wood to roam,
And tread again the leafy lanes,
'Round childhood's happy home.- Informant
