Henry Clay Work - The Days When We Were Young

2014-11-07 104 Dailymotion

Sister! Sister! don't you remember <br />The days when we were young? <br />The long, long days, with a light and a shade <br />Like the pearls of a necklace strung, <br />Like the pearls of a necklace strung? <br />They are gone, with all our yesterdays -- <br />We seek their like in vain; <br />But we will shed no tears for them <br />While the bright todays remain, <br />While the bright todays remain. <br /> <br />Sister! Sister! don't you remember <br />The days when we were young? <br />The homely house in the fat, far away, <br />Where the love of our childhood clung, <br />Where the love of our childhood clung? <br />There is naught to mark that sacred spot, <br />Save now the beaten loam; <br />Yet distant altars have we rear'd <br />In the bless-ed name of home, <br />In the bless-ed name of home. <br /> <br />Sister! Sister! don't you remember <br />The days when we were young? <br />The mates of childhood -- the friend of our youth -- <br />We companion'd and lov'd among, <br />We companion'd and lov'd among? <br />Some are wand'ring far, and some in death <br />Have closed their weary eyes; <br />But we rejoice in new found friends, <br />While we weep for broken ties, <br />While we weep for broken ties.<br /><br />Henry Clay Work<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-days-when-we-were-young/
