WHEN AM OLD.


When am old-and oh! how soon
viii hfe's sweet morning yield TO noon;
And Moons broad, fervid, earnest light
Be shroudod in the solemn night;
Fill like a story well nigh told,
Will seem my life--when avn old.
When am old--this breezy Earth
Will lose for me lis voice Of mirth;--
The streams will have an under tone
OF sadness. not by righ, their own;
And Springs sweet power in vain unfold
Its rosy charms when am old.
When am old shall not care
To deck with flowers my faded hair;
Twill be no vain desire Of thind,
In rich and costly dress to shine;
Bright jewels and The brigh'es, gold
Will charm me naught-when ain old,
When ! am old-my friends shall be
Old and infrmand bowed like me,
Or ese-their bodies meath the sod;
Their spirits DIV ellng safe with God,-
The old church bell will long have tolled
Above their rest when am old.
When I am old I'd rather bend
Thus sadl, Ger each buried friend,
Than see them loose the earnest truth,
That marks the friendship OF our youth;
Twill be SO sad to see them cold
Or strange to me- when Am old.
When I am old-oh! how it seems
Like the " lid unacy ofdreams.
10 picture in prophetic rhyme,
That dim, tar. distant, shado"y time:
80 distant that il seems DER bold
Even to say--'When | am old'
When am old--perhaps ere then,
I shall be missed iron, the haunls o men,
Perhaps my d~ elling will be found
Beoea,h the green and quie, mohnd;
My name by stranger hands unrolled
Among the dead-ere an old.
Ere am old!--that time is now,
For youth sits light, on my brow;
My limbs are firm and strong and iree--
Life has a thousand charms Tor me
Charms that will long their influence hold
Within my heart ere am old.
