lyrics

Jangling Memories
Words by Katherine Mansfield

Heavens above ! here's an old tie of yours—
Sea-green dragons stamped on a golden ground.
Ha ! What children we were in those days !

Do you love me enough to wear it now ?
Have you the courage of your pristine glories ?
You laugh and shrug your shoulders.
Those were the days when a new tie spelt a fortune :

We wore it in turn—

I flaunted it as a waist-belt.
What easily satisfied babies !
“I think I'll turn it into a piano duster.”

Do you love me enough to wear it now ?
Have you the courage of your pristine glories ?

We wore it in turn—

…Fling it into the faces of other children !”
We laughed and laughed till the tears came !

Do you love me enough to wear it now ?
Have you the courage of your pristine glories ?
