Fear not, old friend; a scene like this
Sinks deep in childhood's heart,
And lingers 'mid the memories
That never can depart.
If he is spared, long after days
May all forgotten be,
But, blent with childhood's brightest dreams,
He will remember thee.
Sinks deep in childhood's heart,
And lingers 'mid the memories
That never can depart.
If he is spared, long after days
May all forgotten be,
But, blent with childhood's brightest dreams,
He will remember thee.
