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...CONTRA MORTEM: THE NOTHING I by HAYDEN CARRUTH BATTLE OF THE BALTIC by THOMAS CAMPBELL THE HOUSE OF LIFE: JENNY by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI BIRDS by NESTA HIGGINSON SKRINE VILLANELLE, WITH STEVENSON'S ASSISTANCE by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS VERSES SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN IN A BURIAL-GROUND ..
