Wandering Back

Author: A. M. Hootman Hymnal: Honey Out of the Rock #163 (1894) First Line: I am thinking today of the scenes of my youth Refrain First Line: No! the days will ne'er return, when I was a boy Lyrics: 1 I am thinking today of the scenes of my youth, And the days that have long passed and gone; Of the time when I played ‘round my dear mother’s knee, When she sang me her lullaby song. Refrain: No! the days will ne’er return, when I was a boy, The hopes of my youth fade away; I am journ’ying along to the land of the blest, Where the scenes of my youth ne’er decay. 2 The old house, crib and barn, are replaced by a new, And the homestead seems strange to me now; But my tho’ts wander back to my dear mother’s side, Where in childhood she oft kissed my brow. [Refrain] 3 Yes, I’m gliding adown the silent stream of time, And the ev’ning of life is at hand; And their shadows seem to meet and gather at my feet, Like the shells ‘mid the bright drifting sand. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I am thinking today of the scenes of my youth]
