Do you know what I will love best of all	A
To do when I'm old At the close of day	B
When the dusk comes down and the shadows play	B
And the wind sings loud in the poplars tall	A
I will love to get into my corner here	C
The curtains drawn and never a one	D
To break the stillness to sit here alone	E
And dream of these good old times my dear	F
	-
In fancy you'll come and sit by my side	G
I can see your face with my eyes close shut	H
With the pride and the softness clearly cut	H
The obstinate chin and the forehead wide	G
The oval cheek and the smile so warm	I
The dark eyes full of their fun and power	J
With the tender light for the tender hour	J
And the flash of fire that was half their charm	K
	-
I'll whisper 'Twas sweet when youth was our own	E
The laughter the nonsense the freedom from care	L
The castles we built high up in the air	L
The secrets told to each other alone	E
Not all of laughter the world went wrong	M
And the shadows pressed till my heart was sore	N
I'll never be glad I said any more	N
Never be happy or gay or strong	M
	-
O the sweetest thing in the hour of pain	O
Is to have one near us who understands	P
To touch us gently and hold our hands	P
Till our strength and courage come back again	Q
At love's swift pace you hurried to me	R
Your tender words they will ring in my ears	S
When I sit and dream after long long years	S
The shine in your eyes through the mists I'll see	R
	-
Our lives will be lying so far apart	T
And time no doubt will have given us much	U
Of weary wisdom put many a touch	U
Of his withering hand on face and heart	T
But I know what I will love best of all	A
To do at the end of the busy day	B
When the dusk comes down and the shadows play	B
And the wind sings low in the poplars tall	A
	-
I will love to get into my corner here	C
With the curtains drawn and never a one	D
To break the stillness to sit here alone	E
And dream of these happy days my dear	F
And take my treasures from memory's hold	V
The tears the laughter the songs that were sung	W
O the friends we love when the heart is young	W
Are the friends we love when the heart grows old	V
