Late Lyrics and Earlier: A Bygone Occasion

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!
