I Saw the World Go by

Alice Corbin

I SAW the world go by:

With crimson banners flying,

And loud bugles crying,

The young world went by.

I saw the world go by:

Footsore and weary,

Banners torn and dreary,

The old world went by.

I saw the world go by—

And laughed to see it going,

And cried to see it going,

And while I watched it going,

The world went by!
