    “Now far away from the dear old scenes”

    Continued
    In thousands there, they daily roamed
    Around Saint James's Well.
    And thou good Master kind and true
    I hope your teaching still.
    In that dear old school so far away
    Down by the rippling mill.
    It was in former days gone by
    You taught me first to spell
    When I was but a school boy
    Around Saint James's Well.
