Yes, I remember

Yes, I remember the spot so well,

where chestnuts bloom in a far off dell.

May was busy thro' all the hours

flinging her sunshine, wreathing her flow'rs,

Touching all hearts with witching spell!

Yes, I remember so well, so well!

Promise of beauty and peace of love

shone o'er the earth and the sky above.

Hours like minutes flow softly by;

ah, how happy were you and I!

Joy of that time what tongue may tell?

Yes, I remember so well, so well!
