I see the orchard and the hill and the little brook and mill. As I'm dreaming of the da~s of long ago. I ' m dreaming of the woodland and the plainly beaten path Of the hoot owl and the caw caw of the crow. I can see the grapevine swing and the bird upon her i'ling, As I ' m dreaming of the days of long ago. I can hear the whippoorwill in the dusky twilight still, And the misic of tre fiddle and the bovl, I turn with the corn mill crank and I hit old Morgan's flank As I'm dreaming of the days of long ago. I can see the timbertwig as it fairly dances a jig and the sun kissed apples Fell down at my feet. \'/here the sassafras it growed and the good old cows they lowed. I can hear the bob white and the pheasants beat, I see that old log house and farm and the spinning of the yarn, By a hand that vanished like the winter snow. And her look so tenderly as she often told to me How I'd ponder on the days of long ago. Just one more among my dreams Dearer than them all it seems, As the sunshine and the shadow come and go As we stood at that old gate and He whispered will you wait, Will you love me when you Dream of long ago. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
