Shoulder lies Grandma's grey head,As closely he holds to his fond aged heartThe wife from whose love he holds no thought apart.And so, while their fancies to auld lang syne cling,They lift their old voices, and quaveringly singWay thro' to its end the dear lullaby song,So dear to them both for the years long agone,And straight from their hearts doth the melody flow,Tho' the tremulous notes are so faltering and slow.And now the sweet music hath reached other ears;The baby's young mother the lullaby hears,And, beckoning her mother, they presently standWithin the dim doorway, and hand clasping hand--They listen and smile--yet with tears in their eyes--To the soft notes which out from the shadows ariseFrom the hearts that old Time with his yearsAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Excerpt from Grandma's Attic Treasures: A Story of Old-Time MemoriesThere, give me my knittin', dearie, It's somethin' I can't abide, To set with my old hands idle, Like driftin' along on the tide.
