MEMORIES, by FREDERIC FAIRCHILD SHERMAN
First Line: Above the busy world at dusk I know
Last Line: And listening I hear again her words.

First Line: Above the busy world at dusk I know
Last Line: And listening I hear again her words.
Subject(s): Memory
Above the busy world at dusk I know
Each day an hour of happiness complete,
For then I sit within the window-seat
And dream of home, and Her, and long ago.
The silence in the city far below,
The sunset as it glorifies the street,
Each to my homesick heart is ever sweet
As the soft winds that wander to and fro.
There oftentimes the blessed memory
Of other days makes glad the dark for me;
I hear the happy singing of the birds
In bowers of bloom, I breathe the fragrance borne
Across the world from out the Orient morn,
And listening I hear again Her words.
