the last of the holidays.

You keep me in a flutter,
You nearly stepped upon the pie—
There! he's upset the butter.

Father, another cup of tea?
It simply is delicious.
What; time to think of going! Why?"

"I fear there'll be a thunderstorm
Before the day is over;
I think our wisest course will be
To make tracks for the "Rover."

Now we are homeward bound. Laugh on,
While I in silence pray
Each dear young voyager may find
Life's sea calm as to-day;
While I in silence pray
Each dear young voyager may find
Life's sea calm as to-day;
And when at last their voyage ends,
May each frail barque be found
In that great haven God's prepared
For all the "Homeward" bound.
May each frail barque be found
In that great haven God's prepared
For all the "Homeward" bound.
