Still stand n solemn row,
Az the day OF our tryst below the wall
In the twilight and the SNOW
The day you Kissed me for all In all.
In the beautiful long ago.

Though years may como and go;
And my heart beats fast when catch

OF light on the crusted snow,
Az II did that day when called you
Queen"
In the beautiful long ago.
And now when meadow and hill and lea
Lie wrapped in the drifted snow.
We meet and are. slent-what change,

Since that day In the afterglow:
IT'S not the world that has changed. but
we.
Since that beautiful long ago.
