She dons in the closings year.
Tell me a tale of the roofs all whiter

And the way the Nine Mile runs so light
The heart of the town below,

Tell me the look of her cosy homes
; And the shops on Campbell Street,
Till memory thrills in the one who roams
- And shows where the neighbours meet.
Tell me the tale of ihe shopping crowd
Who pause their friends to greet
Mothers

and Dads with handclasp proud,
some. little feet.
I

Carols that they sing,
Tell me
And the
> And the peaceful hush of the Sunday air
When the tells of the churches ring.
' But tell me a message of real contend—
That hearts in the Sepoy Town
Are tuned , to the heart of God Who sent .
His Son as a Ransom down.
r Sing me ar song of a world’s one Door
Till there is no near or far
, And like to our loved ones gone before,
We follow a Guiding Star.
