I REMEMBER, I REMEMBERBy Thomas HoodI remember, I remember,The house where I was born,The little window where the sunCame peeping in at morn;He never came a wink too soon,Nor brought too long a day,But now, I often wish the nightHad borne my breath away!

I remember, I remember,The roses, red and white,The violets, and the lily-cups,Those flowers made of light!

The lilacs where the robin built,And where my brother setThe laburnum on his birthday,—The tree is living yet!

I remember, I remember,Where I was used to swing,And thought the air must rush as freshTo swallows on the wing;My spirit flew in feathers then,That is so heavy now,And summer pools could hardly coolThe fever on my brow!

I remember, I remember,The fir trees dark and high;I used to think their slender topsWere close against the sky:It was a childish ignorance,But now ’tis little joyTo know I’m farther off from Heav’nThan when I was a boy.
