Azalia E. Martin, "Alice of Long Ago" (1904)

213
ALICE OF LONG AGО.
AZALIA EDMONIA MARTIN.

Around my cheerful fireside,
My lamplight all aglow;
While happy thoughts come stealing,
Of Alice of long ago.

Ah, how we'll remember,
When Love's sweet dream was young,
The days we spent together,
The songs that we have sung.

And now that we have parted,
My sadness none can know;
Each day and night I miss her
My Alice of long ago.

The rose has lost its beauty
Soft zephyrs do not blow;
For you my heart is breaking,
Sweet Alice of long ago.
