Joys Of Memory

Topics: classic

When the spring comes round, and a certain day     Looks out from the brume by the eastern copsetrees          And says, Remember,         I begin again, as if it were new,         A day of like date I once lived through,         Whiling it hour by hour away;          So shall I do till my December,          When spring comes round.      I take my holiday then and my rest     Away from the dun life here about me,          Old hours re-greeting         With the quiet sense that bring they must         Such throbs as at first, till I house with dust,         And in the numbness my heartsome zest          For things that were, be past repeating          When spring comes round.
