And doth not a meeting like this make amends	A
For all the long years I've been wandering away	B
To see thus around me my youth's early friends	A
As smiling and kind as in that happy day	B
Though haply o'er some of your brows as o'er mine	C
The snow fall of time may be stealing what then	D
Like Alps in the sunset thus lighted by wine	C
We'll wear the gay tinge of youth's roses again	D
	-
What soften'd remembrances come o'er the heart	E
In gazing on those we've been lost to so long	F
The sorrows the joys of which once they were part	E
Still round them like visions of yesterday throng	F
As letters some hand hath invisibly traced	G
When held to the flame will steal out on the sight	H
So many a feeling that long seem'd effaced	H
The warmth of a meeting like this brings to the light	H
	-
And thus as in memory's bark we shall glide	H
To visit the scenes of your boyhood anew	I
Though oft we may see looking down on the tide	H
The wreck of full many a hope shining through	I
Yet still as in fancy we point to the flowers	J
That once made a garden of all the gay shore	K
Deceived for a moment we'll think them still ours	J
And breathe the fresh air of life's morning once more	K
	-
So brief our existence a glimpse at the most	H
Is all we can have of the few we hold dear	L
And oft even joy is unheeded and lost	H
For want of some heart that could echo it near	L
Ah well may we hope when this short life is gone	M
To meet in some world of more permanent bliss	N
For a smile or a grasp of the hand hastening on	O
Is all we enjoy of each other in this	N
	-
But come the more rare such delights to the heart	H
The more we should welcome and bless them the more	K
They're ours when we meet they are lost when we part	H
Like birds that bring Summer and fly when 'tis o'er	P
Thus circling the cup hand in hand ere we drink	Q
Let Sympathy pledge us through pleasure through pain	R
That fast as a feeling but touches one link	Q
Her magic shall send it direct through the chain	R
