The Songs We Used to Sing.
. Sing mo tho aongs wo used to sing s In the happy, days of old [spring When the hawthorn boughs wore white with And tho meadows full of gold. 1 Sing me the songs wo used to sing • . Itoxuid tho ruddy winter blaze ; Oh, darling, I fain would hear once more 1 The songs of those happy days! ' • Sing mo tho songs we used to sing With tho children at our knees, For my very heart-strings Beom to cling Round those old sweet melodies. Sing to me— l can sing no more, ' Though I woro over so fain. For my singing days are long since o'er And never will come again. Yet, ah, sing not -it would bo so Bad To hear ono voico alone, When so many made the whole air glad In tho bright days that are gone,< And my yearning heart would wake in pain From its hard-won calm and peace I Since the old days nover can come again, Let the old songs also cease, .
