Ah me the golden time!--
But its hours have passed away,
With the pure and bracing clime,
And the bright and merry day.
And the sea still laughs to the rosy shells ashore,
And the shore still shines in the lustre of the wave;
But the joyaunce and the beauty of the boyish days is o'er,
And many of the beautiful lie quiet in the grave;--
And he who comes again
Wears a brow of toil and pain,
And wanders sad and silent by the melancholy main.
