O flowers! the soul that faints or grieves
New comfort from your lips receives;
Sweet confidence and patient faith are hidden in your leaves.

Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight,
Make me a child again, just for to-night!

It whispers low and clear
The sacred echoes of the past,
And brings the dead more near.

Comes the young moon slowly, slowly,
Softly with her light divine,
Filling, like a cup with wine.

Dawn of a brighter, whiter day
Than ever blessed us with its ray,—
A dawn beneath whose purer light all guilt and wrong shall fade away.

I am so weary of toil and of tears,—
Toil without recompense, tears all in vain,—
Take them and give me my childhood again!
