An hour or two of dreamy talk
Language: English
An hour or two of dreamy talk Along the old grey garden walk, A stroll in that sweet hawthorn glade Where long ago our vows were made; The deep'ning twilight soft and grey To shed around our homeward way, The thrilling touch of "Auld Lang Syne" Would bring thy wand'ring heart to mine, With all the faith of former years, With all the trembling hopes and fears, &c.
