"And Deering's Woods are fresh and fair,
And with joy that is almost pain
My heart goes back to wander there, And among the dreams of the days that were
I find my lost youth again. And the strange and beautiful song, The groves are repeating it still: 'A boy's will is the wind's will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.'"
Longfellow.
