Oh half remembered, fleeting, happy time,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7avhmnLl8p
When nothing mattered more than love and play,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSol0KLYKz6
Imagination was then in its prime,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKIMmjNppa
And life began anew with every day.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy9B7HTpmj
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoRmC9u7iL
A flower was then a joy, a mystery,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6o7FK9XQx
And not a petal, root and simple stem,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsdFhfDYmP
And life was full of wondrous fantasy,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8BymPEhLg
Untainted by the intellect of man.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MBtjfb8T3
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvCM0keAxY
That time is gone now; it cannot return,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtCEjhXKYJ
The fruit's been swallowed; its slow poison kills,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JGHG4uHqm
And yet my fallen heart will always yearn,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tqociNjY0
For that most happy time of unknown skills.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XOF3mgzMg
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEKcjx5rwk
Oh false god, knowledge, daily you destroy,152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXSrmOqIXA
All that was holy in me as a boy!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPyWTaHO6M
