From Putnaihs Magazine, for August
My Lost Youth.
pY HENRY W. LoNGFEILow.
Often think Of the beautiful town
That is seated by the sea;
Oten In thought go up and down
The pleasant streets of that dear old town,
And my youth comes back to me.
And verse of Lapland song
ls haunting my memory still
boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long
thoughts"
can see the shadowy lines of It's trees,
And catch, in sudden glcams,
The sheen of far-surrounding seas
And Islands that were the IIcspcridus
or all my boyish charms.
And the burden Of that old song,
1t murmurs and whispers still
A boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long
thoughts"
remember the black wharves and the slips,
And the sea tides passing free
And Spanish sailors with bearded lips,
And the beauty and the mystery of the ships,
And the magic of the sea.
And the voice of that waywnrd song
Is singing and SAYING still;
"A boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth arc long, long
thoughts"
remember the bulwarks by the shore,
And the fort upon the HILL
The sunrise gum with its hollow roar,
The drum beat repeated DER and DER,
And the buglc wild and shrll.
And the musir of that old song
Throbs in my memory still
"a boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth arc long, long
thoughts"
! remember the sea fight far away
How ii Numbered DER the tide
And the dead captains as they lay
In their graves o'erlookns the Tranquil bay,
Where they in battle died.
And the sound of that mournfu song
Goes through me with thrill
"a boys will is the winds WILL
And the thoughts of youth are long, long
thoughts"
can see the breezy dome Of groves,
The shadows Of Dccrings Woods:
And the friendships old and the early loves
Come back with n Sabbath sound, AS of
doves
In quiet ncighborhoods.
And the verse of that sweet old song,
II futtcrs and murmurs still
"a boys will is the winds will
And the thoughts Of youth are long, long
thoughts"
remember The CLEANS and glooms that dart
Across the schooboys brain;
The song and the silence in the heart,
That In part are prophecies, and in part
Are luhgngs wild and vain.
And the voice Of that ftful song
Sings on, and is never still:
"A boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long
thoughts"
There arc things of which may not speak
There are dreams that cannot die;
There are thoughts that make the strong
heart weak,
And bring pallor into the check,
And "A mist before the eye.
And the words of that fatal song
Come over me like a chill:
"a boys will is the winds will
And the thoughts Of youth are long, long
thoughts"
Strange TO me now are the forms ! meet
When J. visit the dear old town;
But the native air is pure and sweet
And the trees that o'orshadow each we'll
known street,
As they balance up and down.
Are singing the beautiful song,
Are sighing and whispering still:
"a boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long
thoughts"
And Decrngs Woods arc fresh and fair,
And with Joy that is almost pain
Hy heart goes back to wander there,
And among the dreams OF the days that were,
find my lost yoGth again.
And tho strange aud beautiful song,
The groves are repeating 1t stin:
"a boys will is the winds will,
And the thorghts of youth arc long, long
thoughts"
