The Little Joys

Topics: classic

My little joys went by me     As little children run     Across the fields at sunset     When playing time is done.     And now alone at twilight     What is there may content     The heart that loved their laughter     And frolic merriment?     Ah well, who knows but still may dawn     Another fairer day     Wherein my little joys may come     A-dancing out to play.
