Transcript	The Water Mill" 1st Listen to the Water Mill All the livelong day To the creaking of the wheel As it wears the hours away Languidly the water glides Tireless on and still Never coming back again To that water mill {And a proverb haunts my mind {As the spell is cast {That the mill will never grind {With the water that is past {For the mill will never grind {With the water that is past (Chorus; last six lines) 2nd Oh! the wasted hours of life That have floated by Oh the good we might have done That's lost without a sigh [page 2] Love that we might once have had Only for a word Thouhts concerned but never penned Perishing unheard Take the lesson to yourself Take it, hold it fast That the mill will never &c "Chorus" 3rd Take the lesson to yourself Honest hearts and true Golden years are passing by And youth is passing too Try to make the most of life Lose no honest way All that we can call our own Lies in this to day Power intellect and strength May not cannot last For the mill will never grind With the water that has past Repeat last two lines Chorus.
