THAT OLD PAL OF MINE A * - j * ?una annul When the evening sun was setting and the birds had gone to rest, And the mountains reflected the glory of the sun beams in the West. It was there that first I met her down by the garden gate, And then she relaized not the love I had gained for her of late. Then she spoke so very friendly with i merely, "howdy do," And we walked along together, but ;he words we spoke were few. We were then just children, but now he years our life have stole. And during all ths lonely time her ove has sweetly filled my soul. Then one day at twilight I was just at he point of stripe, When I pressed her hand so slighty and asked her for my wife. >he moved her blue eyes to meet nine and with a long and forlorn mile. Say's "I've been waiting for *hat dtee Scout, Murphy, Nortf I I I question for a very long while." The church bells, they were chiming as 1 led her down the isle. And when I kissed her lilly white hand I could see the gentle smile. We were moved into the country long about the harvest time; Moved out there to live together with a life of joy sublime. We lived so happy there together until a disease began to spread. And when I awoke one early morn I found that she was dead. I was standing by my window on a cold cloudy day, When I saw the hearse come rolling just to carry her away. Then I followed close behind her ... ?icu i,u Maim up ana be brave, But I could not hide my sorrow when they laid her in the grave. Now the years have pa.>*sed by swift, ly and 1 think back over time. There comes to me a vivid picture of that dear old pal of mine.
