The Silver Chime ‎#86

86. Never Forget the Dear Ones

1 Never forget the dear ones
Around the social hearth,
The sunny smiles of gladness,
The songs of artless mirth;
Though other scenes may woo thee,
In other lands to roam,
Never forget the dear ones
That cluster round thy home.

2 Ever their hearts are turning
To thee when far away,
Their love so pure and tender,
Is with thee on thy way;
Where ever thou may'st wander,
Where ever thou may'st roam,
Never forget the dear ones
That cluster round thy home.

3 Never forget thy father,
Who cheerful toils for thee,
Within thy heart may ever,
Thy mother's image be;
Thy sister dear and brother,
They long for thee to come,
Never forget, dear ones
That cluster round thy home.
