Happy. .daysl flying days
Leave some traces as you hurry through our life
Leave the kiss OF Love, of motherhood and wife
Gentle words and touches light,
Cannot help your rapid fight;
Leave the look our dear ones wore,
AS they neared the brighter shore
Passing days
Sunny days Tender daysl
Leave picture of your beauty on the earth
Take the sin and leave the Innocent new birth
Leave the shining birds and flowers,
And the glowing joy-ripe hours
Take the fruit of vain DESIRE
Leave the hopes that struggle higher.
Smiling days.
Empty daysl Wasted days!
Does 1t matter in the future how you died?
Does 1t matter in the present how you lied +?
Filled with faces that are dead,
Filled with fancies that have fed,
How the storms that O er you swept,
And the tears that through you crept,
Lost their strength amid the past,
DRIED themselves with you at last,
Vanished days
Cruel days Weary days!
Take the burden from my bosom as you go;
Take the memories I used to cherish SO;
Take the leaden-colored skies,
And the cold. reproachful eyes;
Take the ever conscious wrong
And the sobbings sad and long
Troubled days
Dragging days! Wretched days!
Hasten from US to the realms of long ago,
Where forever passions cease to ebb and flow
Hasten by and leave no trace
Of your frowning bitter face
Hide it in the whitened sand
Of that far off, silent land.
