Dreaming to day in a forest greenA
Where the great gums rake the skyB
My thoughts turn back to another sceneA
And to old days long gone byB
To a land of youth and a youth's employC
And to filch another's phraseD
To the men who were boys when I was a boyC
In the long gone Laura daysD
-
To a little town that nestles downE
By the hills of BeetalooC
Where a youth dreamed dreams of fair renownE
And a man's ambition grewF
'Twas here his earliest songs were sungG
And he won his earliest praiseD
From men who were young when he was youngG
In the long gone Laura daysD
-
Spicer Stockdale BallantyneH
Marrie Mitchell and BraundI
How many a right good pal of mineH
Has gone from that sunlit landJ
How many a man how many a ladK
Whose head now slowly greysD
To a song grew glad as I grew gladK
In those long gone Laura daysD
-
Susman Sibly and Dr CookL
Blume and BarringtonM
Oh the lives of some are a long closed bookL
But many a tale runs onN
Hollis and Harvey Chandler GreenA
Are gone their various waysD
But I see them all in the olden sceneA
Of the long gone Laura daysD
-
I see them still I see the townE
Under those scrub clad hillsD
The shops where the quiet street runs downE
Wilson Rowland BillsD
Taylor Weste Felstead tooF
Cole of the kindly waysD
And many other friends I knewF
In the long gone Laura daysD
-
And the names of some come slow to mindO
But the faces greet me clearP
And I hold them all as men most kindO
As I hold the old town dearP
And so in memory to the endQ
That old time picture staysD
For I see each face as a faithful friendQ
Of the far off Laura daysD
-
To the ladies all I lift a glassD
And toast with a right good willC
Every matron every lass whoF
Shine in memory stillC
Fair would I hymn them all in rhymeR
With soaring song of praiseD
Friends of mine from a golden timeR
In the long gone Laura daysD
-
When the evening sun slants through the gumsD
By my forest rimmed abodeS
Once more the old clear picture comesD
And my mind drifts down the roadS
Back to the town by BeetalooC
Where the Rocky River straysD
Back to the old kind friends I knewF
In the dear dead Laura daysD
