By J. M. A.

THOSE pensive thoughts, dear friend, Fond memories start; Your mind with ours doth blend, And heart with heart. Oft yet we wander o'er That “place,” and through the “store,” And greet the friends of yore, And dread to part.
The scenes you call to mind, We love them yet; And brethren there, so kind, Shall ne'er forget. Home of our youth, most dear, And kindred, too, so near— What place so full of cheer, As Somerset!
But, yes, there is a place Just o'er the main, Our way to it we press— So move again. With hope our hearts expand, We long to see that land, And there,—the loved at hand,— Recount our gain. J. M. A.
