It was Tonight her thoughts go back to other years; So quietly she sits with folded hands. Her thoughts are as the waves of drifting sands And moistened with the mist of silent tears. She walks in dreams along the backward trail And picks up things she finds along the way, A little here and there of yesterday, Weaving anew some half-forgotten tale.
