=**The Days Gone By**=
 * James Whitcomb Riley **

O the days gone by! O the days gone by! The apples in the orchard, and the pathway through the rye; The chirrup of the robin, and the whistle of the quail As he piped across the meadows sweet as any nightingale; When the bloom was on the clover, and the blue was in the sky, And my happy heart brimmed over in the days gone by. ==

In the days gone by, when my naked feet were tripped By the honey-suckle’s tangles where the water-lilies dipped, And the ripples of the river lipped the moss along the brink Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed cattle came to drink, And the tilting snipe stood fearless of the truant’s wayward cry And the splashing of the swimmer, in the days gone by.

O the days gone by! O the days gone by! The music of the laughing lip, the luster of the eye; The childish faith in fairies, and Aladdin’s magic ring— The simple, soul-reposing, glad belief in everything,— <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #505050; display: block; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px;">When life was like a story, holding neither sob nor sigh, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #505050; display: block; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px;">In the golden olden glory of the days gone by. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #505050; display: block; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #505050; display: block; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px;">
