3. LUCKNOW CALLING _ It's Centennial in the Home Town, I And there's where I would go l To the places that I lived in . And the scenes I used to know. I'd like to tread the Sepoy streets That once I walked upon, ', And see familiar faces , And talk of years now gone I'd like to see the old Nine Mile That runs beneath the town And View the hills on every side That once I hurried down I'd like to ride on roads that stretch Throughout the country side , And see again the peaceful farms Where country folk abide. Though I've wandered from the old scenes On a far and alien track . There's something in the homecall - That tends to woo me back. And Fancy seems to tell me That it may yet be mine To taste again the simple joys /' I knew in old Lang Syne For like a dream Time flies away And never more comes back. God grant us all to meet again l And keep us while we pack i And journey to the gathering ' That marks one hundredyears Of struggle, toil and effort h In History that appears.
