There are no days like the good old days

That dimpled the laughing heather,
When the pewee sung 10 the summer dawn

We felt the keen winds blow
And saw the frost flakes whirled.
But silent love at last
In two hushed hearts laughed low.
Alone. sad, old, so
Across liie's weary wastes Of snow.
In June We wandered through
A lesfy glade
Glad with the summers song;
The merry breczes sttayed
Light hearted all day long;
From hawthorn boushs they blew
The blossom--not to fade,
But garland me; arrayed
Herewith pass deaths somber shade.
