Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFBBCCAABB GGBB| The old days the old days how oft the poets sing | A |
| The days of hope at dewy morn the days of early spring | A |
| The days when every mead was fair and every heart was true | B |
| And every maiden wore a smile and every sky was blue | B |
| The days when dreams were golden and every night brought rest | C |
| The old old days of youth and love the days they say were best | C |
| But I I sing the new days the days that lie before | D |
| The days of hope and fancy the days that I adore | D |
| The new days the new days the selfsame days they are | E |
| The selfsame sunshine heralds them the selfsame evening star | E |
| Shines out to light them on their way unto the Bygone Land | F |
| And with the selfsame arch of blue the world to day is spanned | F |
| The new days the new days when friends are just as true | B |
| And maidens smile upon us all the way they used to do | B |
| Dreams we know are golden dreams hope springs in every breast | C |
| It cheers us in the dewy morn and soothes us when we rest | C |
| The new days the new days of them I want to sing | A |
| The new days with the fancies and the golden dreams they bring | A |
| The old days had their pleasures but likewise have the new | B |
| The gardens with their roses and the meadows bright with dew | B |
| We love to day the selfsame way they loved in days of old | G |
| The world is bathed in beauty and it isn't growing cold | G |
| There's joy for us a plenty there are tasks for us to do | B |
| And life is worth the living for the friends we know are true | B |
