“I watched them from the window, thy children at their play, And I thought of all my own dear friends, who were far, oh, far away, And childish loves, and childish cares, and a child's own buoyant gladness Came gushing back again to me with a soft and solemn sadness; And feelings frozen up full long, and thoughts of long ago, Seemed to be thawing at my heart with a warm and sudden flow.” HeartChildrenLongPlayFeelingsCareMy OwnSadnessMy HeartFlowWindowDearWarmFar AwayLong AgoFrozenSolemnBack AgainGladnessDear FriendThawing Book:Poems Source: Poems
