To the, places that , I .lived in
And- the Scenes I usedto know.,
I'dlike to tread` the:Sepoy. -

That once I walked upon,,
And see familiar. faces: ,
And` talk of years now gone: '.
I'd like to • see, the old :'Nine'' Mile:
That runs' beneath the town
And view :the •_hills on,, every•'
side. ' '
•That once I• hurried down.
I'd . like to ride on roads:.that ,
stretch .
Throughout the ,country side �
' And :see 'again the: ,peaceful

Where's country folk abide.
Though I've wandered from the.

On a far and alien track,
