AS sit forgotten here,
If ever sang and shouted
Like the children thronging near;
If ever skipped so gaily
In the sunshine or the snow
All, my childhood days are hidden
In the mists of long ago.
l wonder and wonder,
As my thoughts go roaming on,
And l watch the lovers loiter
In the dusk and in the dawn,
If my heart e'er throbbed so wildly
To voice in cadence low.
All, the ways of youth are hidden
By the mists of long ago.

When, with heavy heart and eye,
I see the mourlers standing
Where their best beloved lie,
If l, ever broken-hearted,
Bent beneath a sudden blow
All, the pangs of life are hidden
In the mists of long ago.

As / scan my fellow men,
If they'll bear their pains and passions
To the world beyond our ken.
But through all hear a Whisper

For the harvest of frultion,
Past the lnists of long ago."
