Explore "Retrospection" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I look down the lengthening distance / Far back to youth's valley of hope. / How strange seemed the ways of existence, / How infinite life and its scope!
What dreams, what ambitions came thronging / To people a world of my own! / How the heart in my bosom was longing, / For pleasures and places unknown.
