I'd a dream last night of my boyhood's daysA
And the scenes where my youth was spentB
And I roamed the old woods where the squirrel playsA
Full of frolicsome merrimentB
And I walked by the brook and its silvery toneC
Seemed to soothe me again as of yoreD
And I stood by the cottage with moss overgrownC
And the woodbine that trailed round the doorD
-
No change could I see in the garden plotB
The flowers bloomed brightly aroundB
And one little bed of forget me notB
In its own little corner I foundB
The sky had a home look the breeze seemed to sighE
In the strain I remembered so wellF
And the little brown sparrows looked cunning and shyE
As though anxious some story to tellF
-
But as quietness reigned and a loneliness fellF
O'er the place that had once been so gayG
Its sunlight had saddened since I bade farewellF
And left it for lands far awayG
The door stood ajar and I sought for a faceH
Of the dear ones I longed so to seeI
But others I knew not were now in the placeH
And their presence was painful to meI
-
A pang of remorse seemed to shoot through my heartB
As I left with a sorrowing treadB
From all the familiar objects to partB
For I knew that the loved ones were deadB
The home once my own now knows me no moreD
The treasures that bound me all goneJ
And I woke with cheeks tear stained and heart sadly soreD
To find that a home I had noneK
