Subject(s): Children; Friendship; Memory; Past; Childhood


AH, HOW I wish I knew
Where Yesterday has gone—
If I could find its track
I'd run and bring it back—
It was a lovely, glor'us day,
And then it went away!

Perhaps I might find, too,
My little playmate, John—
He's left and lost somewhere,
And maybe it is there!
Maybe, he played so late
Today just couldn't wait!
