LAURA E. NEWELL.
TOBLER.

1. We meet a genial merry throng,
A cheerful, earnest band,
Within the Grange, to greet our friends,
And clasp each out-stretched hand,
When past the busy day of toil,

And evening's shades appear;
Here friendship's golden chain unites,
And songs our spirits cheer.

REFRAIN.
La la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la.

2. Here kindly words inspire us all
With hope, — a boon divine,
While sympathy, a gift from heav'n,
We in our hearts enshrine;
And we clasp each friendly hand,
God's blessing will implore,
And as that he will guide us home
When labors here are o'er.

REFRAIN.
