DId on his visage beam.
Which made it quite a home for us.
The old school by the stream

Musing now these happy moments have
Long vanished with their traces.
I wonder where they all have gone.
These many schoolboy faces.
That smiled on me so lovingly
Made life a pleasant dream.
For we were blind to every vice
The old school by the stream.

Ah some are in a foreign land.
And some are serving Mans.
And some are beyond the swelling wave.
Beneath the Stripes and Stars,
And some are in Australia's land.
Beneath the scorching beam.
Who ne'er with again shall stand.
