I es, I have had companions,

    In my days of childhood, in my joyful school-days;

    All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

    I have been laughing, I have been carousing,

    Drinking late, sitting late, h my bosom cronies;

    All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

    I loved a Love once, fairest among women:

    Closed are  not see her;

    All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

    I have a friend, a kinder friend has no man:

    Like an ingrate, I left my friend abruptly;

    Left o muse on the old familiar faces.

    G-like I paced round ts of my childhood,

    Eart I o traverse,

    Seeking to find the old familiar faces.

    Friend of my bosom, ther,

    not thers dwelling?

    So migalk of the old familiar faces;

    me,

    And some are taken from me; all are departed;

    All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
