Come walk with me and MemoryA
And let us see what we shall seeA
A wild green lane of stones and weedsB
That to a wilder woodland leadsB
An old board gate the lichens crustC
Whose ancient hinges croak with rustC
A vale a creek and a bridge of planksD
And the wild sunflowers that wall its banksD
A path that winds through shine and shadeE
To a ferned and wildflowered forest gladeE
Where out of a grotto a voice repliesF
With a faint hollo to your voice that criesF
And every wind that passes seemsG
A foot that follows from Lands o' DreamsG
A voice a foot and a shadow tooH
That whispers of things your childhood knewH
A girl that waited a boy that cameI
And an old beech tree where he carved her nameI
Where still he sees her whom still he hearsJ
Bidding him come through the long gone yearsK
How oft she beckons your heart and mineL
From the farmhouse window trailed deep with vineL
And porched with roses where all must knowM
She used to live in the long agoM
The farmhouse there at the end o' the laneN
With the sunset twinkling its windowpaneN
Where she smiles as she smiled in the Long agoM
The farmer's daughter you used to knowM
Who has not changed to your heart for yearsK
Though her face you often see through tearsO
Who wears her youth as she did of oldP
As a princess weareth a crown of goldP
The little sweetheart you know for truthQ
Who lives for aye in the Land of YouthQ
Who never dies who is always fairR
With eyes of mischief and tomboy hairR
Whom your heart still follows and worships it seemsG
Forever and aye in the Land o' DreamsG
