[Vision of days gone by your memory dances]
Vision of days gone by your memory dancesMid the cool feelings manhoods reason brings
Like the unearthly memory of romances
Peopld with sweet & uncreated things
That are & are not ah delicious themes
How warm your memory mans chill bosom moves
Wild as the mistery of delightful dreams
Soft as the anguish of rememberd loves
Sweet as those dead ideas youth possest
When woman seemd an angel born for joy
When edens baskd on every panting breast
With neer a thought to wither & destroy
