The Old Home Call in Boyhood Memory
An aging speaker recalls the old lane gate and house by the tree, the wild wood and brook of youth. He longs to walk, dream, and talk with nature as the heart aches with nostalgia and the world feels distant and weary. The refrain repeats the pull of familiar places that refuse to let him be.
