BEN BOLT.

Thomas Dunn English. Nelson Kneass.

1 . Oh! don't you re - mem-ber sweet Al - ice, Ben Bolt,

2. Un - der the hick- o - ry tree, Ben Bolt,

3. And don't you re - mem-ber the school, Ben Bolt,

4. There is change in the things I loved, Ben Bolt,


Sweet Al - ice whose hair was so brown,

Which stood at the foot of the hill,

With the mas - ter so kind and so true.

They have changed from the old to the new.


Who wept with de - light when you gave her a smile.

To - geth - er we've lain in the noon - day shade.

And the shad - ed nook by the run - ning brook,

But I feel in the depths of my spir - it the truth.


And trem-bled with fear at your frown? In the

And list - ened to Ap - ple - ton's mill. The

Where the fair - est wild flowers grew? Grass

There nev - er was change in you.
