James Whitcomb Riley - The Old DaysJames Whitcomb Riley - The Old Days
Work rating: Low


The old days--the far days--   The overdear and fair!-- The old days--the lost days--   How lovely they were! The old days of Morning,   With the dew-drench on the flowers And apple-buds and blossoms   Of those old days of ours. Then was the _real_ gold   Spendthrift Summer flung; Then was the _real_ song   Bird or Poet sung! There was never censure then,--   Only honest praise-- And all things were worthy of it   In the old days. There bide the true friends--   The first and the best; There clings the green grass   Close where they rest: Would they were here? No;--   Would _we_ were _there_!... The old days--the lost days--   How lovely they were!
