Where are the friends,
   that to me were so dear,
Long, long ago, Long, long ago?
Where are the hopes,
   that my heart used to cheer,
Long, long ago, Long, long ago?
Friends that I loved,
   in the grave are laid low,
Hopes that I cherish'd,
   are fled from me now.
I have been taught
   there's no joys here below,
Long, long ago, Long ago.
