NEWS ■ OF INTEREST IN THE REALM OUR YESTERDAYS I sometimes think the yesterdays are fairer, sweeter far Than any days that are to be or any i days that are; As distance lends enchantment to the ! far horizon line So time its glamor weaves about the days of auld lang syne. The friends of youth seem dearer than the friends we know today, The world was brighter, lighter in the years of faraway; The blossoms on the orchard trees a subtler fragrance blew, And all the roses seemed to wear a rarer, fairer hue. And oh, the joys of yesterday are deep er grown with time, Our ancient woes are sweetened, olden sorrows made sublime; And all the dreams that seemed to die, the things that could not be, The prayers of life unanswered, still live in memory. Today may bring us happiness, tomor row lure us on, But something ever turns our hearts to other days long gone; And blessed is the life which sees through recollection’s haze, The tenderness and sweetness of its hallowed yesterdays. —Peoria Journal.
