THE DAYS WHEN WE WERE YOUNG (Henry Clay Work) Sister! Sister! don't you remember The days when we were young? The long long days, with a light and a shade, Like the pearls of a necklace strung, Like the pearls of a necklace strung? They are gone, with all our yesterdays, We seek their like in vain; But we will shed no tears for them While the bright todays remain, While the bright todays remain. Sister! Sister! don't you remember The days when we were young? The homely house in the far, far away Where the love of our childhood clung, Where the love of our childhood clung? There is naught to mark that sacred spot Save now that beaten loam; Yet distant altars have we rear'd In the blessed name of home, In the blessed name of home. Sister! Sister! don't you remember The days when we were young? The mates of childhood, the friends of our youth We companion'd and loved among, We companion'd and loved among. Some are wand'ring far and some in death Have closed their weary eyes; But we rejoice in new found friends While we weep for broken ties, While we weep for broken ties.
