The Long Ago.

Topics: classic

O life has its seasons joyous and drear,          Its summer sun and its winter snow,         But the fairest of all, I tell you, dear,          Was the sweet old spring of the long ago -                  The ever and ever so long ago -         When we walked together among the flowers,          When the world with beauty was all aglow.         O the rain and dew! O the shine and showers          Of the sweet old spring of the long ago!                  The ever and ever so long ago.         A hunger for all of the past delight          Is stirred by the winds that softly blow.         Can you spare me a thought from heaven to-night          For the sweet old spring of the long ago? -                  The ever and ever so long ago.
