Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDE BFBFGHGHE IJIJKLKMN OBOBKPKPN OKOKBQBQN| DO you remember all the sunny places | A |
| Where in bright days long past we played together | B |
| Do you remember all the old home faces | A |
| That gathered round the hearth in wintry weather | B |
| Do you remember all the happy meetings | C |
| In Summer evenings round the open door | D |
| Kind looks kind hearts kind words and tender greetings | C |
| And clasping hands whose pulses beat no more | D |
| Do you remember them | E |
| - | |
| Do you remember all the merry laughter | B |
| The voices round the swing in our old garden | F |
| The dog that when we ran still followed after | B |
| The teasing frolic sure of speedy pardon | F |
| We were but children then young happy creatures | G |
| And hardly knew how much we had to lose | H |
| But now the dreamlike memory of those features | G |
| Comes back and bids my darkened spirit muse | H |
| Do you remember them | E |
| - | |
| Do you remember when we first departed | I |
| From all the old companions who were round us | J |
| How very soon again we grew light hearted | I |
| And talked with smiles of all the links which bound us | J |
| And after when our footsteps were returning | K |
| With unfelt weariness o'er hill and plain | L |
| How our young hearts kept boiling up and burning | K |
| To think how soon we'd be at home again | M |
| Do you remember this | N |
| - | |
| Do you remember how the dreams of glory | O |
| Kept fading from us like a fairy treasure | B |
| How we thought less of being fam'd in story | O |
| And more of those to whom our fame gave pleasure | B |
| Do you remember in far countries weeping | K |
| When a light breeze a flower hath brought to mind | P |
| Old happy thoughts which till that hour were sleeping | K |
| And made us yearn for those we left behind | P |
| Do you remember this | N |
| - | |
| Do you remember when no sound 'woke gladly | O |
| But desolate echoes through our home were ringing | K |
| How for a while we talked then paused full sadly | O |
| Because our voices bitter thoughts were bringing | K |
| Ah me those days those days my friend my brother | B |
| Sit down and let us talk of all our woe | Q |
| For we have nothing left but one another | B |
| Yet where they went old playmate we shall go | Q |
| Let us remember this | N |
