A Memory
Language: English
Oh! To be light of heart once more, To ride through the woods again, As once I rode ere sweetest joy, Had turned to saddest pain Do you remember that glad day, That sun-bathed day in June, When all the world was harmony, And you the perfect tune? No on will ever love a tune, As I that simple lay, Content to live because you were So good to me that day.
