Lovers of this song might enjoy a song I wrote a few years ago... it's Maggie's response to George at the end of his life. The tune is Abide With Me.

As In Our Younger Days, George

Would I were with you, wandering on the hill
Where once we courted, by the rusting mill
Gaily the birds are singing where I lie
As in our younger days, George, you and I.

Few were the months in wedded bond of heart
Many the years since fortune did us part
Constant our love, unbroken still our tie
As in our younger days, George, you and I.

Mournful the words time wrote upon your face
All of your grief in time shall be erased
Grey be your head, but brilliant still your eye
As in our younger days, George, you and I.

Seasons of late I see your flesh decline
Watch o'er your bed as you watched over mine
Hastening the day my arms shall hold you nigh
As in our younger days, George, you and I.

Cheers, Marion the partially qualified
