Seein' You Again Poem by MacGregor Tagliaferro

When last we parted, I was young
You were so lovely my remembrance says!
Sadly, since then time has stolen away
These many years, leavin' my temples gray
So has it perished, like a thing of air,
That dream of love and youth
Yet still rememberin' youth's enchanted way,
Though time has changed my look,
Though I remember the pain of our partin',
And never thought, long as I yet might live,
And parted so long, to see those eyes again;
I can a sad, and sweet tortured feelin' have,
And say, il mio cuore felice
As when I loved you when I was young!
