Oft in the silly night
Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light
Of other days around me:
The smiles, the tears
Of boyhood years,
The Words of love then spoken
The eyes that shone,
Now dimnd and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken!
Thus in the stilly night,
Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,
Sad memory brings the light
Of other days around me.

When I remember all
The friends so linked together
Ive seen around me fall
Like leaves in wintry weather,
I fell like one
Who treads alone…
