English text
- O my child love,
- my love of long ago,
- How great was life
- when thou and I were young !
- The world was boundless,
- For we did not know;
- A life, a poem,
- For we had not sung.
- Now is the world grown small
- and we thereon
- Fill with mere care and toil
- each narrow day;
- Elves from the wood,
- Dreams from my heart are gone
- And heaven is bare,
- for God is far away.
- Canst thou not come
- and touch my hand again,
- And I look on thee
- with grave and inocent eyes ?
- Thy God has many angels;
- I would fain Woo for one hour
- One angel from the skies.
- O my child love,
- come back come back to me,
- And, laughing, lead me
- from the toil and din !
- Lay on my heart
- those small hands tenderly
- And let the whole world in.
- Lyrics: Julian Sturgis - (1848 - 1904), "Looking Backwards"
