English text
O my child love,
my love of long ago,
How great was life
when thou and I were young !
The world was boundless,
For we did not know;
A life, a poem,
For we had not sung.
Now is the world grown small
and we thereon
Fill with mere care and toil
each narrow day;
Elves from the wood,
Dreams from my heart are gone
And heaven is bare,
for God is far away.
Canst thou not come
and touch my hand again,
And I look on thee
with grave and inocent eyes ?
Thy God has many angels;
I would fain Woo for one hour
One angel from the skies.
O my child love,
come back come back to me,
And, laughing, lead me
from the toil and din !
Lay on my heart
those small hands tenderly
And let the whole world in.
Lyrics: Julian Sturgis - (1848 - 1904), "Looking Backwards"
