Brightly the sun of summer shoneA
Green fields and waving woods uponB
And soft winds wandered byC
Above a sky of purest blueD
Around bright flowers of loveliest hueD
Allured the gazer's eyeC
But what were all these charms to meE
When one sweet breath of memoryE
Came gently wafting byC
I closed my eyes against the dayF
And called my willing soul awayF
From earth and air and skyC
-
That I might simply fancy thereG
One little flower a primrose fairG
Just opening into sightH
As in the days of infancyE
An opening primrose seemed to meE
A source of strange delightH
-
Sweet Memory ever smile on meE
Nature's chief beauties spring from theeE
Oh still thy tribute bringI
Still make the golden crocus shineJ
Among the flowers the most divineJ
The glory of the springI
-
Still in the wall flower's fragrance dwellK
And hover round the slight blue bellK
My childhood's darling flowerL
Smile on the little daisy stillM
The buttercup's bright goblet fillM
With all thy former powerL
-
For ever hang thy dreamy spellK
Round mountain star and heather bellK
And do not pass awayF
From sparkling frost or wreathed snowN
And whisper when the wild winds blowN
Or rippling waters playF
-
Is childhood then so all divineJ
Or Memory is the glory thineJ
That haloes thus the pastO
Not all divine its pangs of griefP
Although perchance their stay be briefP
Are bitter while they lastO
-
Nor is the glory all thine ownA
For on our earliest joys aloneA
That holy light is castO
With such a ray no spell of thineJ
Can make our later pleasures shineJ
Though long ago they passedO
