Quotes
A happy youth, and their old age
Is beautiful and free.
Is beautiful and free.
And often, glad no more,
We wear a face of joy because
We have been glad of yore.
We wear a face of joy because
We have been glad of yore.
My eyes are dim with childish tears,
My heart is idly stirred,
For the same sound is in my ears
Which in those days I heard.
My heart is idly stirred,
For the same sound is in my ears
Which in those days I heard.
