I REMEMBER
We hope to replace this simulation with genuine voices soon
LYRICS
I remember, I remember, The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon, Nor brought too long a day
But now, I often wish the night Had borne my breathe away!
I remember, I remember, The roses, red and white,
The violets, and the lily cups, Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built, And where my brother set
The willow on his birthday, The tree is living yet!
I remember, I remember, Where I was used to swing,
And thought the air must rush as fresh To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then, That is so heavy, heavy, now,
And summer pools could hardly cool The fever on my brow!
I remember, I remember, The fir tress dark and high;
I used to think those slender tops Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance, But now ’tis little joy
To know I’m farther off from heaven Than when I was a boy.
I remember, I remember, The house where I was born,
The roses red and white,
Those flowers made of light,
The fir trees dark and high.
When I was a child.
Thomas Hood (1799-1845)
