You sing me song of the long ago
And / turn my face from the sunset
glow
To the crimson blush Of the trembling
dawn ,
OF the days, of the wondrous days agone;
And the song you sing is a song unheardy
For my heart leaps up at whispered
word
That is echoed now from the melody
Sdll sung in the land of used-to-be.
And I sit and gaze through my half-closed
eyes
At the olden hills and the olden skies
At the olden hills that were high, so
high
That they seemed to reach to the bend
So high were they that at night they
kept
The paths Of the stars as adown they
crept,
And they stood as a shelter roundabout
From the hungry world that was barred
without
And I see again as though through a
mist
The Redeemed rose that the dew had
kissed,
And the apple blooms on the swaying
trees,
And I hear the chant of the humming
bees
AS they staggered home, from the flow
cred vine
With the drunken Joy of the honey winei
And see the path, and the lazy gate
Where the hollyhocks stood guard in
state.
You sing me song of the long ago
And you sing of things that you cannot
know;
OF the laughing brook and the meadows
green,
And the country road that was white
and clean,
or the little house with its open door
And the sunshine dancing across the
floor
And the morning glories that climbed
the wall.
And the scent of the roses over ALL
