I Remember, I Remember (Thomas Hood)

Cm
I remember, I remember
Gm
The house where I was born,
Cm
The little window where the sun
Gm
Came peeping in at morn;
Eb Eb/D
He never came a wink too soon
Eb/C Bb
Nor brought too long a day;
Cm Gm
But now, I often wish the night
A
Had borne my breath away.

Bb F
I remember, I remember
Eb Bb
The roses red and white,
Cm Gm
The violets and the lily cups--
Cm
Those flowers made of light!
Bb Cm
The lilacs where the robin built,
Dm Fm
And where my brother set
Cm Fm
The laburnum on his birthday,--
D7
The tree is living yet!

Bb Cm Dm Fm Cm Fm D7

I remember, I remember
Where I was used to swing,
And thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then
That is so heavy now,
The summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow.

I remember, I remember
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy
To know I'm farther off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.

Bb Cm Dm Fm Cm Fm D7 Cm
