THE OLD, OLD SONGS, by HENRY CROCKER First Line: The robins and sparrows are singing Last Line: They'll be sweet forever and aye. | |||
The robins and sparrows are singing, Singing the same old song They sang in the days of my childhood When the summer hours were long. O, the old, old songs of the woodland Are just as sweet today, They'll be just as sweet tomorrow, They'll be sweet forever and aye. O Mother, the songs of my childhood, The songs you used to sing To hasten the steps of the sand-man, His bundle of dreams to bring,— O, the old, old songs of my childhood Are just as sweet today, They'll be just as sweet tomorrow, They'll be sweet forever and aye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LITTLE WHILE by SARA TEASDALE PISGAH SIGHTS by ROBERT BROWNING THE PARADOX by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR WHEN ON THE MARGE OF EVENING by LOUISE IMOGEN GUINEY PATIENCE by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE HYMN FOR EPIPHANY by REGINALD HEBER IVAN THE CZAR by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS UPON PRUE, HIS MAID by ROBERT HERRICK |
