Once again I seemed to listen
As in pleasant by-gone days,
When grandpa called us round him,
To join in prayer and praise.
Ah, me! the band has been broken
Dear grandpa lives in heaven;
And grandma's head has a snowy crown,
The glory by old age given.

Ah, me! the band has been broken
Dear grandpa lives in heaven;
And grandma's head has a snowy crown,
The glory by old age given.
Time's touch has brought many changes,
But I love to keep in my heart,
These sweet but homely pictures
Of my childhood's life a part.
There are many prouder homesteads,
But love gives a worth untold;
And the old home's heart-kept beauties
Could not be purchased with gold.
