hubert parry - looking backward lyrics

Loading...

o my child love
my love of long ago
how great was life
when thou and i were young !
the world was boundless
for we did not know;
a life, a poem
for we had not sung

now is the world grown small
and we thereon
fill with mere care and toil
each narrow day;
elves from the wood
dreams from my heart are gone
and heaven is bare
for god is far away

canst thou not come
and touch my hand again
and i look on thee
with grave and inocent eyes ?
thy god has many angels;
i would fain woo for one hour
one angel from the skies
o my child love
come back comе back to me
and, laughing, lead me
from thе toil and din !
lay on my heart
those small hands tenderly
and let the whole world in
