(ism* not laumms)
It is not in the noisy street
Where pleasures oft are found
It is not 'shore the idle meet
*mere Purest joys abound.
But where the faithful teacher stands
with firm but gentle rule
Oh, that is just the plaoe for me
The culod old common school.
Ohe the school roma
that* the plows for me
We rarely find go where we will
A happier set than we
The stamps that's born
On nhoods brow is traoed with many a year
The good or ill were doing now
In future lives appears
And as our fleeting hours we spend
In sturdy toil or play
We hope that each his aid will lend
To cheer us on our vv.

(Songs vOknoon)
I saw a weary traveler.
In tattered garments sled
A wandering up the seumbein.
It seemed that he was sad
fits baok was burdened heavy
His strength was almost lone.
But he shouted as he journeyed;
"Deliverance will comesb"
Monies Then palrls of vt0ta7

Crouse of glory
Palms of victory

I saw him in the waning
The sweat was an his brow
His garments were all dusty
His step esemA very SIOW
stint he kept pressin.r, award
for he was winding home
but he shouted as he journeyed
