THE DRUMS OF MEMORY.


Beat the drums of memory
In low and lulling key,
Till my feet go marching on
Through the twilight and dawn
Backward through the paths of time
Into that enchanted cline
Where the blossoms never fade
Where the sunshine and the shade
Dance in dapples on the grass
or the orchards as pass
Beat the drums Of memory
Till they thrill the soul Of me
And ! foot the hazy miles
Into long forgotten wiles
Find the meadow and the brook
And the vinehid forest nook
Till the world that was of old
World aglow with rose and gold
Lures me with its hopes, forsooth
AS it did when | had youth.
Beat the drums of memory
Till the old songs come to me.
Till | murmur faded tunes
Hum contented olden croons
And the boy days are all mine;
Till my veins pulse with the wine
OF the days that were. made new
AS | find my pathway through
All the ever calling ways
Of the living yesterdays
