Classic Poem

Last night
When we were young
Love was a star,
A song unsung,
Life was so new,
So real, so right,
Ages ago,
Last night.
Today,
The world is old.
You went away
And time grew cold.
Where is that star
That seemed so bright
Ages ago,
Last night?
To think
That Spring had depended
On merely this,
A look, a kiss.
To think
That something so splendid
Could slip away
In one little daybreak.
So now
Let's reminisce,
And recollect
The sighs and the kisses,
The arms that clung
When we were young,
