Come back Come back, my Childhood"
Id not recall my childhood
With ali its sweet delight
lis simple, bird like gladness,
II was not always bright;
Even morning had her tear drops,
And Spring her clouded sky,
And on the lairest cradle
I've seen the shadows lie.
I'd not recall my childhood,
Though tender memories throng
Around It's rosy portals,
Preclusive TO LIES song:
The fall voiced living chorus,
Is swelling round me now,
And roster light is resting
Upon my maiden brow
l have made changeful journey
Up the hill of life since morn;
| have gathered flowers and blossoms.
I've been pierced by many thorn;
But from out the core of sorrow
have plucked jewel rare,
The strength which mortals gather
In their ceaseless strife with care.
Now grasp liie's burning braker,
And howe'er the bubble glow,
III pause not, till I've tasted
The deepest wave below;
Though bitter dregs may mingle,
The crimson tide shall roll,
In full and fearless currents,
Through the fountains of my soul.
No Id not go back to childhood,
From the radiant flush of noon,
And when evening closes round me,
| crave only one boon;
Amid the valleys dark,
