Memory

By Oscar C. Williams.

When I review the days we spent up there

Upon Youth’s mountain-top, when we had thrilled

To the throbbing of a love that God had willed,

And sipped together joyously the rare,

Rich strangeness of the brimming hours and fair—

When I review all this, those days so filled

With life, I realize how much was spilled.

We did not mind, we had so much to spare!
