Frazer, Persifor

Persifor Frazer an Ernst Haeckel, [Philadelphia], 24. Dezember 1901

Prof. Dr. Ernst Haeckel

from

Persifor Frazer

Xmas. 1901.

AULD LANG SYNE.

LANGSYNE! HOW DOTH THE WORD COME BACK

WITH MAGIC MEANING TO THE HEART,

AND MEMORY ROAMS THE SUNNY TRACK

FROM WHICH HOPE’S DREAMS WARE LOATHE TO PART!

NO JOY LIKE BY-PAST JOY APPEARS;

FOR WHAT IS DONE WE FRET AND PINE –

WERE LIFE SPUN OUT A THOUSAND YEARS,

IT COULD NOT MATCH LANGSYNE.

a happy, bright Christmas be yours.
