I would not have them back again, -- Those days of long ago; Their fevered passions, griefs and pains Are passed, -- 'tis better so; Yet sometimes, when through rising tears That distant past I view, I long to live again those years With you, dear heart, with you. Before us countless barriers rose, But Love still found the way; We laughed alike at fears and foes, And Courage won the day; What dreams we cherished, perils dared, Yet oh, what bliss we knew! For joys and sorrows then were shared With you, dear heart, with you. Where once we roamed 'mid flowers bright, The winter sun hangs low; With faces toward its waning light We have not far to go; Ah, what awaits us there? Shall we This severed life renew? If so, I pray that it may be With you, sweet heart, with you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR REMEMBERING HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU by JAMES GALVIN SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: J.
