THE OLD FAMILIAR FACES

By Charles Lamb

I have had playmates, I have had companions,

In my days of childhood, in my joyful school days;

All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

I have been laughing, I have been carousing,

Drinking late, sitting late, with my bosom cronies;

All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
