Often I think of the beautiful town	A
That is seated by the sea	B
Often in thought go up and down	A
The pleasant streets of that dear old town	A
And my youth comes back to me	B
And a verse of a Lapland song	C
Is haunting my memory still	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	E
	-
I can see the shadowy lines of its trees	F
And catch in sudden gleams	G
The sheen of the far surrounding seas	F
And islands that were the Hesperides	F
Of all my boyish dreams	F
And the burden of that old song	C
It murmurs and whispers still	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	F
	-
I remember the black wharves and the ships	F
And the sea tides tossing free	B
And Spanish sailors with bearded lips	F
And the beauty and mystery of the ships	F
And the magic of the sea	B
And the voice of that wayward song	C
Is singing and saying still	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	F
	-
I remember the bulwarks by the shore	H
And the fort upon the hill	D
The sunrise gun with its hollow roar	H
The drum beat repeated o'er and o'er	I
And the bugle wild and shrill	D
And the music of that old song	C
Throbs in my memory still	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	F
	-
I remember the sea fight far away	J
How it thundered o'er the tide	K
And the dead captains as they lay	J
In their graves o'erlooking the tranquil bay	J
Where they in battle died	K
And the sound of that mournful song	C
Goes through me with a thrill	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	F
	-
I can see the breezy dome of groves	F
The shadows of Deering's Woods	F
And the friendships old and the early loves	F
Come back with a Sabbath sound as of doves	F
In quiet neighborhoods	F
And the verse of that sweet old song	C
It flutters and murmurs still	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	F
	-
I remember the gleams and glooms that dart	L
Across the school boy's brain	M
The song and the silence in the heart	L
That in part are prophecies and in part	L
Are longings wild and vain	M
And the voice of that fitful song	C
Sings on and is never still	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	F
	-
There are things of which I may not speak	N
There are dreams that cannot die	O
There are thoughts that make the strong heart weak	N
And bring a pallor into the cheek	N
And a mist before the eye	O
And the words of that fatal song	C
Come over me like a chill	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	F
	-
Strange to me now are the forms I meet	P
When I visit the dear old town	A
But the native air is pure and sweet	P
And the trees that o'ershadow each well known street	P
As they balance up and down	A
Are singing the beautiful song	C
Are sighing and whispering still	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	F
	-
And Deering's Woods are fresh and fair	Q
And with joy that is almost pain	M
My heart goes back to wander there	Q
And among the dreams of the days that were	I
I find my lost youth again	R
And the strange and beautiful song	C
The groves are repeating it still	D
A boy's will is the wind's will	D
And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts	F
