District #3 - East Road
This school building was one of the hardest to get to through roadways in
winter in the town of Bethany.
A little schoolhouse stands
Beneath a maple tree,
Though silent is the bell
I hear it calling me.
The leaves are falling now
As in the days of yore;
On the roof they linger
And gather at the door.
I somehow can't resist
To wander back each year
To the old country school
When autumn's drawing near.
