I Sit Beside the Fire and Think Lyrics
I sit beside the fire and think
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow-flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
In autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair
I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see
For still there are so many things
That I have never seen:
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green
I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people who will see a world
That I shall never know
But all the while I sit and think
Of times there were before
I listen for returning feet
And voices at the door
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow-flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been;
In autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see
That I have never seen:
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green
Of people long ago
And people who will see a world
That I shall never know
Of times there were before
I listen for returning feet
And voices at the door
