Edgar Guest - The Three Me`sEdgar Guest - The Three Me`s
Work rating: Low


I`d like to steal a day and be All alone with little me, Little me that used to run Everywhere in search of fun; Little me of long ago Who was glad and didn`t know Life is freighted down with care For the backs of men to bear; Little me who thought a smile Ought to linger all the while-- On his Mother`s pretty face And a tear should never trace Lines of sorrow, hurt or care On those cheeks so wondrous fair. I should like once more to be All alone with youthful me; Youthful me who saw the hills Where the sun its splendor spills And was certain that in time To the topmost height he`d climb; Youthful me, serene of soul, Who beheld a shining goal. And imagined he could gain Glory without grief or pain, Confident and quick with life, Madly eager for the strife, Knowing not that bitter care Waited for his coming there. I should like to sit alone With the me now older grown, Like to lead the little me And the youth that used to be Once again along the ways Of our glorious yesterdays. We could chuckle soft and low At the things we didn`t know, And could laugh to think how bold We had been in days of old, And how blind we were to care With its heartache and despair, We could smile away the tears And the pain of later years.
