- Someone and I.I list to the soft winds sighing
By river and castle and lea
And the form I loved in the long ago
Comes tenderly back to me.
For we stood by the Shannon together
And watched the sea-birds fly
Ah, many and many a golden time
In the dead past - Someone and I.I look at the sweet berries growing
At the wild rose, fresh and free
And the face I loved in the long ago
Comes blushingly back to me.
For we roamed thro' the fields together
When sunset flushed the sky.
And we plucked the berries and roses fair
In the dead past - Someone and I.I list to the music and dancing
Near 'the old cross' by the sea,
And the voice I loved in the long ago
Comes lovingly back to me.
Yet in dreamland we meet together
As in halcyon days gone by
But we search in vain for the roses fair
In the dead past - Someone and I.By T.B. Naughton Nov 1893
