Do you remember the wood loveA
That skirted the meadow so greenB
Where the cooing was heard of the stock doveA
And the sunlight just glinted betweenB
The trees that with branches entwiningC
Made shade where we wandered in blissD
And our eyes with true love light were shiningC
When you gave me the first loving kissD
-
The ferns grew tall graceful and fairE
But none were so graceful as youF
Wild flow'rs in profusion were thereE
But your eyes were a lovelier blueF
And the tint on your cheek shamed the roseG
And your brow as the lily was whiteH
And your curls bright as gold when it glowsG
In the crucible liquid and brightH
-
And do you remember the stileI
Where so cosily sitting at eveJ
Breathing forth ardent love vows the whileI
We were only too glad to believeJ
And the castles we built in the airE
Oh what glorious structures were theyK
No temple all earth was so fairE
But alas they all vanished awayK
-
And do you remember the timeL
When cruel fate forced us apartM
When with resignation sublimeL
We obeyed though with pain in each heartM
Then years dragged their wearisome roundN
And we ne'er again met as of yoreO
But we did meet at last and we foundN
Things were not as they had been beforeO
-
You'd a child on your rough sunburned armP
And your husband had one on his kneeQ
And I had my own little swarmR
For I was the father of threeQ
And I know we both thought of the daysS
When love and romance filled each heartM
Now we both have our children to raiseS
You're washing I'm driving a cartM
