I Remember, I Remember,

I remember, I remember, ; The houss where I was born, The sight of that lop-sided shack To-day .would make me mourn; The orooked little brick-paved walk) The henhouse in the rear, With cabbage growing* at the siiV And pig-sty rather near. I remember, I rernemlber, The corn-cob father had (A five cent piece of Navy (Plug In those days made him glad.) The old stove in the kitchen, And father's. stockinged feet— All that was ere prosperity Swept us-on Easy Street. I remember, I remember, The pump in our backyard, Where father watered all the stock And found it rather hard. But now he has another, way And needs no trough or pump; fife watert stock down on the street And make? the lambkins Junjj). J remember, I remember — But oh 1 The changes wrought Are queerer than the little dike That sister Helen bought! Since father gtoos to twenty orabs And mother has her set, . We have no use for mern'ryV art— We're trying to forget!
