THE FALSE PAST, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: In the golden past
Last Line: False and fabulous past!
Subject(s): Past


IN the Golden Past
Summer skies were brighter,
Youth more frank and loyal,
Age more true and tender,
Love sincere and selfless,
In the Golden Past!

In the Golden Past
Men were more as brothers,
High and low drawn closer,
Faith's clear face serener,
Sophist voices silent,
In the Golden Past!

Ah, the Golden Past!
Ah, the dreaming fancies!
Thin, illusive glamour!
Flouting out poor Present,
Paling man's bright Future,
False and fabulous Past!
