Sentiment .... Fame speaks you great and good. 
Ma ry is sounding in our ears, 
From palace, and from cot; 
What place of high or low degree, 
Where this loved name is not ? 
We read it oft in Sacred Writ; 
This, poets most admire; 
We see it oft on Hist’ry’s page,— 
No name’s exalted higher. 
In youth we love to hear the sound 
Of this sweet, simple name; 
In age we love it as of yore ; 
It brings us back again: — 
It brings the long, bright, summer days. 
When we in sportive mood, 
Chased humming-bird and butterfly, 
And wandered in the wood,— 
In search of childhood’s gay delight. 
The many-colored flowers,— 
With blue-eyed Mary by our side; 
We spent those sunny hours.
