- Days gone by -
Of sunsets gazed 'til dewy morn
And lovely nights of fire light gone
Of broody days lost in thought
Their evenings through the lattice drop
Of loving words to caressed sweets
And thoughtless times with tinder beats
Of loving touch with passions deed
And romance forever filling need
Of minutes lost to lustful hearts
And decades full of earnest starts
Of love and life and lust and loss
And all those things we feel so oft
