I’m sitting to-day in the old play-ground,

Where you and I have sat so oft together,

I’m thinking of the joys when you and I were boys

In the merry days now gone, John, forever;

’Twas here we sat in the merry olden time,

And we dream’d of the wild world before us,

And our visions and hopes of the coming time

Were as bright as the sun that shone o’er us.

I’m sitting to-day in the old play-ground,

Where you and I have sat so oft together,

I’m thinking of the joys when you and I were boys

In those merry days now gone, John, forever.

O’er the threshold, John, we pass’d forlorn,

To wander we knew not where,

The heaven we thought so bright was o’ershadow’d by night,

And the pathway lay dark and drear.

But I am sitting to-day in the old play-ground,

Where you and I have sat so oft together,

And these memories wild have made me a child,

As in the merry days now gone, John, forever.
