LONG AGO by CLARA EXLINE BOCKOVEN

First Line: NOW THAT DEEP SNOW
Last Line: LONG AGO!
Subject(s): CHILDHOOD MEMORIES;
Now that deep snow
Is over everything
I hardly ever go
To see my swing.

Such a lovely swing
It used to be!
And the apple tree
@2Used to be@1
The beautifullest thing
In all the world, to me!
But now it stands so still and bare,
With my poor swing a-dangling there,
All stiff with ice and snow,
That I hardly know
Whether it was I
Or some other boy
That used to be so happy
Swinging there,
Long ago!
