When he'll no longer roam,
But by some deep, cool river
Will make us all a home.

“ And face burn'd brown with weather,
Our Andy's home again!
His unkempt hair is faded
Through sleeping in the wet;
He's looking old and jaded;
But he is hearty yet.
With eyes sunk in their sockets,
But merry as of yore ”
