- (continued from previous page)But the beautiful star spangled banner
Whose folds have so long sheltered me
I neer can forget in a manner
Dear Bannow forever and theeIII
I am sad when I yield to reflection
The bright scenes of youth full in mind
And fast flow the tears of affection
For friends I'm leaving behind
But memory will bring them around
When I'm in the land of the free
And brighter the ties that have bound
My Dear Bannow my heart is with theeIV
How off oer the fields at eves closing
With boyhoods companions Ive strayed
Content in its bosom reposing
Our joys and our hearts neath the shade
Sweet bliss ever come with the horror
Then life its a pleasure to me
And now I am leaving in sorrow
My school mates Dear Bannow and Thee
