Sarah Doudney seems to be the Poet and this is also confirmed by the great Anglo-India author, Ruskin Bond in his book “Night tain at Deoli”.

Charles Dickens was an out and out novelist, as far as I know. He has not written any poem, I think. So, the poem you have quoted might be by Sarah Doudney as hinted by Janet Parker. Best portions of yester years cannot be forgotten. It gives impetus in the present and hope in the future to go ahead in our pursuit of the sublime. So, soaring high to sublimity one can get the satisfaction one is longing for one day. Till then it is our duty to go after the best to get the mood to achieve the goals we have fixed earlier for getting fulfilment in life.

I remember this poem from Arthur Mee’s Childrens’ Encyclopaedia, and I am sure the author’s name in that book was Sarah Doudney.

I have read on many sites that Charles Dickens wrote those words.
