A Bygone Occasion

(Song)

         That night, that night,
         That song, that song!
Will such again be evened quite
         Through lifetimes long?

         No mirth was shown
         To outer seers,
But mood to match has not been known
         In modern years.

         O eyes that smiled,
         O lips that lured;
That such would last was one beguiled
         To think ensured!

         That night, that night,
         That song, that song;
O drink to its recalled delight,
         Though tears may throng!
