them now	A
Never at all comes in the scrawl	B
On the written pages which told us all	B
The news of town and the folks we knew	C
And what they had done or were going to do	C
It seems we've forgotten how	A
To spend an hour with our pen in hand	D
To write in the language we understand	D
Old fashioned letters we used to get	E
And ponder each fond line o'er	F
The glad words rolled like running gold	G
As smoothly their tales of joy they told	G
And our hearts beat fast with a keen delight	H
As we read the news they were pleased to write	H
And gathered the love they bore	I
But few of the letters that come to day	J
Are penned to us in the old time way	J
Old fashioned letters that told us all	B
The tales of the far away	J
Where they'd been and the folks they'd seen	K
And better than any fine magazine	K
Was the writing too for it bore the style	L
Of a simple heart and a sunny smile	L
And was pure as the breath of May	J
Some of them oft were damp with tears	M
But those were the letters that lived for years	N
Old fashioned letters How good they were	F
And oh how we watched the mails	O
But nobody writes of the quaint delights	P
Of the sunny days and the merry nights	P
Or tells us the things that we yearn to know	Q
That art passed out with the long ago	Q
And lost are the simple tales	O
Yet we all would happier be I think	R
If we'd spend more time with our pen and ink	R
