Oh half remembered, fleeting, happy time,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjCgkRnyOS
When nothing mattered more than love and play,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfK9h4iyfb

A flower was then a joy, a mystery,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0QdcWRdt5
And not a petal, root and simple stem,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLkcuW38Au
And life was full of wondrous fantasy,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvVTVA1IqL
Untainted by the intellect of man.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YHsIWtFAN

That time is gone now; it cannot return,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT0kzp6t8A
The fruit's been swallowed; its slow poison kills,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYg7g4aBbA
And yet my fallen heart will always yearn,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c8ZLpSptt
For that most happy time of unknown skills.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnvH3d1Jet
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8aS2l0pu7
Oh false god, knowledge, daily you destroy,456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexGqmgtMYG
All that was holy in me as a boy!456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBTKzreLzL
