Were our eyes really brighter then, Or are we foolish, gray, old men Who merely fancy in our rhymes That life has lost those good old times ? I wonder were the girls we knew In gingham gowns of pink and blue, And braided hair and ankle skirts, So very shy! or were they flirts? Were they much different from the maids Of now who have no ribboned braids? We sang and danced the latest styles And lost our heads for maiden’s smiles; We often stole a kiss or two Which like as not these youngsters do; I fancy, though I do not know, They still hold hands, as long ago. We tell our little boasts of all We did when we were young anil tall; We fancy, joy was sweeter then; But are we foolish, gray old men S#ll clinging to the long ago? And is our prattle really so? Will not these youngsters turn and »«y, When they, like us, are old and gray, And hear some newer ballad sung; U We’d sweeter songs when we were young, I fancy they, Mke fia, at last will Cherish memories of the past.
