I A goodly tree our fathers planted here, Their faithful hearts commingling 3 hopes and fears.

How brave to us doth now its strength appear,

Ringed with the growth of many fruitful years!

2 Its tonic leaves have for our healing been,

We have been grateful for its pleasant shade;

And cheerful songs from out its glim-
mering sheen

Have for our hearts a pleasant music
made.

3 Many the days of sunshine it has known,
Many the storms which have its vigor
tried.

Through storm and sunshine it has
sturdier grown,

And flung its branches wider and
more wide.

Lone are the paths and sad the hours,
Since thy dear form is gone;

But oh! a brighter home than ours,
In heaven, is now thine own.
