Dearest one, do you remember, As we sat side by side, How you told me that you loved me, Asked me to be your bride. And you told me we'd be happy, Through all the years to come, If we ever would prove faithful, As in the days when we were young. Oh! how well do I remember, The kind and loving words, And now as I sat dreaming, The thoughts my memory stirs. But the days have passed before me, And the scenes of long ago, But I can never forget the Days that have passed o'er. Oh! how clearly I remember The days when we were young, How we would tell to each other Of happy times to come, And as we would sit together, That dear loved one and I, Oh, sat dreaming of the future, And childhood days gone by. Dearest love, do you remember The first time that we met -- Our youthful days have gone, love, I hope you love me yet, Now we are growing old, love, Our heads will soon be gray, May we ever love each other Till from earth we pass away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BALLAD OF JUDAS ISCARIOT by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN ROUEN; 26 APRIL - 25 MAY 1915 by MAY WEDDERBURN CANNAN THE FORERUNNERS by GEORGE HERBERT BARBARA FRIETCHIE [SEPTEMBER 13, 1862] by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER |
