Happy by-gone days by Alexander S. Cooper — Lyrics
We’ll sing a song of bygone days
As hand in hand we rove,
When memory’s moonlight softly plays
Around the home we love.
And all that once was bright and fair
Shall waken to the view,
Ere life was shadowed with a care,
And lips and hearts were true.
When not a kindred tie was given
To dim the raptured gaze,
And Earth. a mirror seemed of Heaven,
In happy bygone days.

About Happy by-gone days
Alexander S. Cooper’s SATB partsong Happy by-gone days offers a gentle reflection on cherished memories. The English text evokes a sense of nostalgia, recalling a time of innocence and simple joys, when the world seemed like a reflection of heaven. The music likely mirrors this sentiment, with the choir reminiscing about cherished moments and the presence of loved ones, even those long departed. This secular piece invites singers and listeners alike to revisit treasured times, where the beauty of the past remains ever present and comforting.
