Remembhancet 05 Sydenham Ten long yeanA, Then god a Atnoll, It now appeani, Along the Ahoal, Since in Sydenham I pulled my dagh; And loan in the woodA I would be; . In youth pnime, The gentle bteeze That happy time, Swinging the theei, Wat Apent in jovial wayA. Thhough which I could Acaacely lee. Out countny teat, 0n eveny Aide, At the foot of the Atneet, When out five a aide, Wat the centne ol the ganden Atood; With many paetty placeA I would meet; In Atyle plain, with thein own kando, Built of Marne, Impnoved thein landi, But its eomiotta inAide wene good. Till lihauy they ate complete. A ganden of itoroivto, In Aummen time, with pnetty bowedb, I would oiten climb, Eneompazoed the houAe all 'nound; Op the top ol Switzen'A hilli; Add to thear, Ftom thii mound, Many ituit tneei Sceneny tiet, all 'nound, Scattened oven ith cultivated gnound. Giving a view of the village and ith mitta. .

To meet again with thein happy Amile. 06t I would have, Thnough iietd and gnove, Until the gheen point I would neach; Thene I would Atay, Sometimei kaU a day, .......Geoige w.
