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

-1 -1 -1 -1 2
The wide spread-ing pond,
-1 -1 -1 -1 -1 3 -1
and the mill that stood by it,
-1 -1 -1 -1 -4
The bridge and the rock
-3 3 -2* -3 1* -1
where the ca-ta-ract fell;

-1 -4 -3 3 -4 -3
The old oak-en buck-et
3 -3 3 -3 -4 3
The i-ron bound buck-et
3 3 -2* 2 -1 3
The moss cov-ered buck-et
-4 -3 3 -3 3
That hung in the well
