So happy that we gave away our toy | B |
We smiled at nothings needing no caress | C |
Have we not laughed too often since with Joy | B |
Have we not stolen too strange and sorrowful wrongs | D |
For her hands' pardoning The sun may cleanse | E |
And time and starlight Life will sing great songs | D |
And gods will show us pleasures more than men's | E |

Yet heaven looks smaller than the old doll's home | F |
No nestling place is left in bluebell bloom | G |
And the wide arms of trees have lost their scope | H |
The former happiness is unreturning | I |
Boys' griefs are not so grievous as our yearning | I |
Boys have no sadness sadder than our hope | H |
