Saga of the Sanpitch Volume 13, 1981 - Sanpete County

Source: Personal recollections.
Do you, dear friends, ever reminisce?
And let your thoughts retreat
To the paths of youth and yesteryear,
You tripped with nimble feet?
And as you sit in your easy chair
With feet cocked up just so,
Do you recall how you used to dance
Some sixty years ago?
As you hear the North wind whistling,
And you know it's cold outside,
In your memory can you hear the sleigh bells,
And the laughter of those who ride?
Do you remember the old dance hall,
And the Drug Store across the street,
The gang on the corner singing,
My Adeline so sweet?
With its rocks and ruts and sand,
The high Spring seat of that old wagon
As you rode to the Shepherd's Land?
Now wouldn't you like to be young again,
And meet your dear old friends,
To live again, the joys of youth,
And believe that fun never ends?
Now you who are old and gray like me,
Who live so far away;
Don't dear old Sanpete memories,
Call you all back home to stay?
