One summer day I chanced to stray It was an old fashioned garden 
‘To a garden of flow’rs blooming wild, Just an old fashioned garden 

































It took me once more to the dear days But it carried me back to that dear little 
of yore shack ifs 
And a spot that I loved as a child; In the land of long ago. Sle Saas 
There were the phlox, tall hollyhocks, I saw an old fashioned Missus Ree ae 
Violets perfuming the air, 2 Getting old fashioned kisses al 
Frail eglantines, shy columbines In that old fashioned garden SEH A PRO 
And marigolds everywhere. From an old fashioned beau. Ee i r len
