When hopes ran high the world was young, <br />We thought that we would never die, <br />And glorious were the songs we sung <br />In those grand days when hopes ran high. <br /> <br />When hopes ran high the world was true <br />We thought that friends could never lie— <br />There have been bitter truths for you <br />And me, since days when hopes ran high.<br /><br />Henry Lawson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-hopes-ran-high/
