    Paternal love and friendliness
    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.
    The old school by by the stream
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
