FAREWELL, OLD COTTAGE
2 Farewell! old cottage,
Memory still inthralls The loved ones of my childhood
In your time-beaten walls. Here my brother played
In pride of health and youth, Here my sister prayed
In purity and truth.
3 Farewell! old cottage,
Oft times from afar Yon window light hath served me
As a loved guiding stari And cheered a heart that longed
To join the household mirth Where happy faces thronged
A hospitable hearth.
FAREWELL, SWEET MOTHER
