How dear to the heart 
-3   3    -3   3  -3  -4    3
are the scenes of my child-hood
 3    3  -2*  2  -1   2
When fond re-col-lec-tion 
-4   -3    3   -3  3
Pre-sents them to view

-1  -4  -3     3   -4  -3
the or-chard, the mead-ow, 
 3   -3   3   -3   -4   3
the deep tan-gled wild-wood,
 3  3  -2*   2    -1 
And ev-'ry loved spot 
  3   -4 -3  3  -3  3
which my in-fan-cy knew

The wide spread-ing pond,

and the mill that stood by it,

The bridge and the rock

where the ca-ta-ract fell;

The old oak-en buck-et

The i-ron bound buck-et

The moss cov-ered buck-et

That hung in the well
