"Old Memories". Words and music by Stephen Collins Foster. First edition, New York: Firth, Pond & Co., 1853.

Fondly old memories
Recall round my heart.
Scenes of my early joys
That never depart.
Warmed in their sunny rays,
Hopes brightly burn:
Say not those happy days
Can never return!

Voices of tenderness
And eyes ever bright,
Warm and true hearted friends
May lend their delight;
But still for departed smiles
The sad heart will yearn:
Say not those happy days
Can never return!
