The Old Times Were The Best

    By James Whitcomb Riley



    Friends, my heart is half aweary
        Of its happiness to-night:
    Though your songs are gay and cheery,
        And your spirits feather-light,
    There's a ghostly music haunting
        Still the heart of every guest
    And a voiceless chorus chanting
        That the Old Times were the best.

            CHORUS

    All about is bright and pleasant
        With the sound of song and jest,
    Yet a feeling's ever present
        That the Old Times were the best.
