any nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover, anu

And my happy heart brimmed oVer-lh

were tripped
By the horeysuckle tangles where the

Where the rlacid-eyed and laZy-footcu
cattle came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless OF the

And the spfaShing of the swimmer, IN the

O the days gone by, o the days gone by!
The music of the laughing lip. the ulster

The childish faith in fairies, and Alad-

The simple, soul-reposing, glad belief IN
everything.
For life was like a story, holding neither

In the golden, olden glory of the days
