"Yesterdays"

Title:     "Yesterdays"
Author: Abram Joseph Ryan [More Titles by Ryan]

Gone! and they return no more,
But they leave a light in the heart;
The murmur of waves that kiss a shore
Will never, I know, depart.

Gone! yet with us still they stay,
And their memories throb through life;
The music that hushes or stirs to-day,
Is toned by their calm or strife.

Gone! and yet they never go!
We kneel at the shrine of time:
'Tis a mystery no man may know,
Nor tell in a poet's rhyme.

[The end]
Abram Joseph Ryan's poem: "Yesterdays"
