'TWAS yesterday 'twas long ago	A
And for this flaunting grimy street	B
And for this crowding to and fro	A
And thud and roar of wheels and feet	B
Were elm trees and the linnet's trill	C
The little gurgles of the rill	C
And breath of meadow flowers that blow	A
Ere roses make the summer sweet	B
	-
'Twas long ago 'twas yesterday	D
Our peach would just be new with leaves	E
The swallow pair that used to lay	D
Their glimmering eggs beneath our eaves	E
Would flutter busy with their brood	F
And haply in our hazel wood	G
Small village urchins hide at play	D
And girls sit binding blue bell sheaves	E
	-
Was the house here or there or there	H
No landmark tells All changed all lost	I
As when the waves that fret and tear	H
The fore shores of some level coast	J
Roll smoothly where the sea pinks grew	K
All changed and all grown old anew	K
And I pass over unaware	H
The memories I am seeking most	J
	-
But where these huddled house rows spread	L
And where this thickened air hangs murk	M
And the dim sun peers round and red	L
On stir and haste and cares and work	M
For me were baby's daisy chains	N
For me the meetings in the lanes	N
The shy good morrows softly said	L
That paid my morning's lying lurk	M
	-
Oh lingering days of long ago	A
Not until now you passed away	D
Years wane between and we unknow	K
Our youth is always yesterday	D
But like a traveller home who craves	O
For friends and finds forgotten graves	O
I seek you where you dwelt and lo	A
Even farewells not left to say	D
