When the beautiful mountain ash is turning	A
As lovely a sight as the eyes desire	B
When the leaves of the sumac bush are burning	A
Like the steady flame of a winter fire	B
When the weeds by the roadside all grow golden	C
When maples are glowing and asters gleam	D
It is then that the new is changed to the olden	C
And back to my heart comes the past like a dream	D
	-
Like a mirage I see the blue haze o'er me	E
The City of Youth that I left behind	F
Oh whitely its turrets are gleaming before me	E
And out of the window lean faces kind	F
And I hear the echo of jubilant voices	G
There are cheeks of beauty and eyes of truth	H
And every pulse in my heart rejoices	G
There's no other place like the City of Youth	H
	-
And lo the City is full of splendour	B
And a voice in my soul breaks into song	I
Yes a passionate love as fair as tender	B
Creeps out of the grave where it slept so long	I
As the strings of a harp by winds are shaken	C
To endless music my heart is stirred	J
When my name is breathed and my hand is taken	C
Though I cannot utter a single word	J
	-
But with souls that are full of the beautiful weather	B
And the perfect peace that has no name	K
Under the autumn skies together	B
We stray by the sumacs all aflame	K
And the forest flushes to fuller glory	B
Brighter glow asters and golden rod	L
As eye unto eye tells the old old story	B
And the sunlight seems like the smile of God	L
	-
Alone I stand and sorrowful hearted	M
The dead leaves fall in the chilly wind	F
The mirage is fled and the glory departed	M
And the City of Youth is far behind	F
