YEARNING, by                    
First Line: I'm yearning again for those hours
Last Line: Though oft given another name.
Subject(s): Homesteaders


I'm yearning again for those hours
That ne'er can be recalled;
I see again the old homestead,
The brook and the garden wall.

Oh, could the years but wing backwards,
Once more a child to be.
Again, within the old homestead,
All united once more to be.

Years wing on and bring changes,
But memories are e'er the same;
The yearning of hearts never changeth,
Though oft given another name.
