'''1.''' :I cannot sing the old songs, :I sung long years ago :For heart and voice would fail me, :And foolish tears would flow; :For bygone hours come o'er my heart, :with each familiar strain :I cannot sing the old songs, :Or dream those dreams again. '''2.''' :I cannot sing the old songs, :Their charm is sad and deep; :Their melodies would waken :Old sorrows from their sleep; :And though all unforgotten still, :and sadly sweet they be, :I cannot sing the old songs, :They are too dear to me. '''3.''' :I cannot sing the old songs, :For visions come again, :Of golden dreams departed :And years of weary pain; :Perhaps when earthly fetters :shall have set my spirit free, :My voice may know the old songs, :For all eternity.
