This geocache can be found at a small church, not brown, but it reminds me of the song which my great-aunt used to sing. She would play it on the piano (she was self-taught, using mostly the black keys) and then follow with other oldies, but goodies, including Forgive Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms. We hope you have similar memories of your dear relatives and the things they shared with you.
There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier spot in the dale
No place is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
Refrain (Oh, come, come, come, come)
Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
As the little brown church in the vale
How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To listen to the clear ringing bells
Its tones so sweetly are calling
Oh come to the church in the vale
Refrain
There, close by the church in the valley
Lies one that I loved so well
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, 'neath the willow
Disturb not her rest in the vale
Refrain
There, close by the side of that loved one
'Neath the tree where the wild flowers bloom
When farewell hymns shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb
Refrain
