Halaman 26 - For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne! Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind ?

Halaman 84 - ... commotion, — And I thought that the light-house looked lovely as hope, That star of life's tremulous ocean. The time is long past, and the scene is afar, Yet when my head rests on its pillow, Will memory sometimes rekindle the star That blazed on the breast of the billow. In life's closing hour, when the trembling soul flies, And death stills the heart's last emotion, O, then may the seraph of mercy arise, Like a star on eternity's ocean ! ANON.

But when we cross the sea of life, And reach the heavenly shore, We'll sing the songs our fathers sing, Transcending those of yore: We'll meet to sing diviner strains Than those of auld lang syne; Immortal songs of praise, unknown In days of auld lang syne.

Halaman 26 - For auld lang syne, To sing the songs our fathers sang In days of auld lang syne. We've passed through many varied scenes, Since youth's unclouded day; And friends and hopes and happy dreams Time's hand hath swept away; And voices that once joined with ours, In days of auld lang syne, Are silent now, and blend no more In songs of auld lang syne.
