YESTERDAY by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY

First Line: AH, HOW I WISH I KNEW

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 @3there!@1
Maybe, he played so late
Today just couldn't wait!
