Last but not least is Ada Long, Teaching in Paris, and is healthy and strong. So with deep affection, And recollection, , I now will bid adieu, And folks, if a burden I have been to you, And haven't pleased you as I ought to do, Let old-time memories my forgiveness plead, For I've tried to do my bestg-I have indeed.
