II. THE OLDEN TIME.
In the olden time,
Young lovers roved in these gay bowers:
And these echoes oft
Have murmured vows as fond as ours.
Yes, the old who gaze on us
Once sported thus.
Eyes were bright,
Hearts were light,
In the summer days when they were young.
Young lovers roved in these gay bowers:
And these echoes oft
Have murmured vows as fond as ours.
Yes, the old who gaze on us
Once sported thus.
Eyes were bright,
Hearts were light,
In the summer days when they were young.
217
Where are all the brave
Who won the laurels of those days?
Where are all the fair,
And poets, too, who sang their praise?
Oh! the harp—the smile—the plume—
Lie in the tomb.
Some remain
Who, in vain,
Mourn the Summer days when they were young.
Who won the laurels of those days?
Where are all the fair,
And poets, too, who sang their praise?
Oh! the harp—the smile—the plume—
Lie in the tomb.
Some remain
Who, in vain,
Mourn the Summer days when they were young.
