To-day I am thinking of thee, Katherine, And of the days that used to be, Katherine; When together we two stood In a quiet, leafy wood By a little sylvan brook, While we read each other's love as a book! Ah! those days have long since flown, Katherine, They are gone, forever gone, Katherine; Those were days of "auld lang syne," Then I was yours and you were mine; Through elysian fields we walked, And of love we freely talked. Yes, we loved each then, Katherine, Life was then a sweet refrain, Katherine; But I'm sad to-day, my dearie, And the world seems, oh, so dreary, For I see no more your face, Feel no more your fond embrace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VICTORY BELLS by GRACE HAZARD CONKLING A FATHER OF WOMEN: AD SOROREM E.
