Time & Brevity
The Little Ghosts
From The Home Book of Verse, ed. Burton Stevenson (1912)
Time & Brevity
Where are they gone, and do you know
If they come back at fall o' dew,
The little ghosts of long ago,
That long ago were you?
And all the songs that ne'er were sung,
And all the dreams that ne'er came true,
Like little children dying young —
Do they come back to you?
