Linden Harp ‎#115a

115a. Away to school

1 Our youthful hearts for learning burn,
Away, away to school;
To science now our steps we turn,
Away, away to school.
Farewell to home, and all its charms,
We break from love's paternal arms.
Away to school, away to school,
Away, away to school.

2 Behold! a happy band appears,
Away, away to school;
The shout of joy now fills our ears,
Away, away to school.
The voices ring, the hands they wave,
Each heart rebounds with vigor brave.
Away to school, away to school,
Away, away to school.

3 No more we walk, no more we play,
Away, away to school;
In study now we spend the day,
Away, away to school.
United in a peaceful band,
We're join'd in heart, we're join'd in hand;
Away to school, away to school,
Away, away to school.
