Explore "A Song of Long Ago" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A song of Long Ago: / Sing it lightly -- sing it low -- / Sing it softly -- like the lisping of the lips we / used to know / When our baby-laughter spilled / From the glad hearts ever filled / With music blithe as robin ever trilled!
Let the fragrant summer breeze, / And the leaves of locust-trees, / And the apple-buds and blossoms, and the / wings of honey-bees, / All palpitate with glee, / Till the happy harmony / Brings back each childish joy to you and me.
