I Remember, I Remember By Thomas Hood

A beautiful and poignant poem by the English poet, Thomas Hood. “thee tree is living yet” says it all.

—

I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had 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 set
...
