## The words

The season comes when first  
we met,  
But you return no more,  
but you re- turn no more;  
Why cannot I the days forget Which time can  
ne’er restore, can ne’er restore?  
Why cannot I the days forget Which time can  
ne’er restore, can ne’er restore?  
Oh! days too fair, too bright to last,  
Are you indeed for ever past?  
Oh! days  
too fair, too bright to last,  
Are you indeed for ever past?  
Oh! days too fair, too bright to last,  
Are you indeed for ever past, are you indeed  
for ever past, are you indeed  
ever past?  
The fleeting shadows of de light  
In memory I trace,  
in memory I trace  
In fancy stop their rapidflight And all the  
past replace, the past replace.  
In fancy stop their rapidflight,  
And all the past replace, the past replace.  
But ah! I wake to endless woes, And tears the  
fading visions close.  
But ah!  
I wake to endless woes,  
And tears the fading visions close.  
But ah! I wake to endless woes  
And tears the fading visions close,  
and tears the fading visions close,  
are tears the fadvisions close.
