Remembered Brookside School Days Across Time
A nostalgic poem recalls boyhood adventures beside a brook and old schoolhouse. The narrator bids farewell to a friend Will, reflecting on how life moves from carefree days to adulthood while the landscape remains, now quiet and empty without their shared laughter. The poem closes with hopeful lines of schooling at home and voyages to life’s vast ocean.
