Those Olden, Golden Days! (A Rondel of 13 lines) <br /> <br />'Those olden, golden days' she said, <br />'Recalled can be only in mind. <br />For ever they've been left behind <br />And won't return, for they are dead. <br /> <br />We therefore can but look ahead <br />At days to come, cruel or kind. <br />Those olden, golden days', she said, <br />'Recalled can be only in mind. <br /> <br />Those days of yore, to values wed - <br />Though all the clocks we backward wind - <br />Will stage no 'comeback'. None can find <br />Them, eternally having fled <br />Those olden, golden days', she said.<br /><br />Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/those-olden-golden-days/
