GOOD fellows are laughing and drinking	A
To night no heart should grieve	B
But I am of old days thinking	A
Alone on Christmas Eve	B
Old memories fast are springing	A
To life again old rhymes	C
Once more in my brain are ringing	A
Ah God be with old times	C
There never was man so lonely	D
But ghosts walked him beside	E
For Death our spirits can only	D
By veils of sense divide	E
Numberless as the blades of	F
Grass in the fields that grow	G
Around us hover the shades of	F
The dead of long ago	G
	-
Friends living a word estranges	C
We smile and we say Adieu	H
But whatsoever else changes	C
Dead friends are faithful and true	H
An old time tune or a flower	I
The simplest thing held dear	J
In bygone days has the power	I
Once more to bring them near	J
	-
And whether it be through thinking	A
Of memories sad and sweet	K
Or hearing the cheery clinking	A
Of glasses across the street	K
I know not but this is certain	L
That here in the dusk I view	H
Like shadows seen through a curtain	L
The shades of the friends I knew	H
	-
Methinks that I hear their laughter	I
An echo of ghostly mirth	M
As if in the dim Hereafter	I
They jest as they did on earth	M
The fancy possibly droll is	C
And yet it relieves my mind	N
To think the enfranchised soul is	C
So humorously inclined	N
	-
But hark whose steps in the glancing	A
Moonbeams are these I hear	O
That sound as if timed to dancing	A
Music of gallant cheer	J
Half Galahad half Don Juan	P
His head full of wild romance	C
Twas thus that of old would Spruhan	P
Come lilting We met by chance	C
	-
Sure never a spirit lighter	I
At heart quaffed mountain dew	H
Never was goblin brighter	I
That Oberon s kingdom knew	H
And though at this season yearly	D
I miss the grasp of his hand	Q
I know that Spruhan has merely	D
Gone back to Fairyland	Q
	-
	-
The shades grow dimmer and dimmer	I
And now they fade from view	H
I see in the East the glimmer	I
Of dawn Old friends adieu	H
Sitting here lonely hearted	R
Writing these random rhymes	C
I drink to the days departed	R
Ah God be with old times	C
