  1. To the home of my childhood my blessing I give
    I hope to behold it, again should I live,
    I know where it stands, I remember the trees,
    As they swayed to and fro at the will of the breeze,
    And well I remember a small patch of flowers,
    That I planted and trimmed in the long evening hours,
    And the old spring well on the side of the hill,
    Bright, bubbling, and clear, I remember it still.
