Alas! from yonder maple tree
The morning bird sings not to me!
Else would his ghostly voice prolong
An evening, not a morning, song.
And he would tell of each dear spot
I knew so well and cherished then,
As all forgetting-not forgot
By him who would be young again!
O child, the voice from yonder tree
Calleth to you, and not to me;
So make, and know those friendships all
I would to God I could recall!
