IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS 147
Time goes on and the happ^ years are dead, And one by one the merry hearts are fled ; Silent now is the wild and lonely glen, Where the bright glad laugh will echo ne'er again, Only dreaming of days gone by, fills my heart with tears !
O the days, etc.
Loving voices of old companions, stealing out of the past once more,
And the sound of the dear old music, soft and sweet as in days of yore,
When the boys began to gather in the glen of a sumĀ­mer night,
And the Kerry piper's tuning made us long with wild delight,
O to think of it, O to dream of it, fills my heart with tears!
O the days, etc.
