Real scenes of life before me now
Are shifting one by one,
Each actor plays his part and goes
But when each act is done,
Old mem'ries hover 'round me,
And I'm a boy again,
On fancy's wings I'm borne to
The Old House in the Glen.

The happy days of yore,
When by the crystal stream I play'd,
That ripples past the door,
With Johnny, James and Mary Anne
A bright-eye'd colleen then,
Oh how we wished the fairies took
The Old House in the Glen.(continues on next page)
