WE GROW OLD.

As we grow Old our yesterdays
Seem very dim and distant:
We grope Is those IN darkened ways,
Through all that is existent,
Yet iar-off-iays shine bright and clear
With suns that long have faded.
And faces dead seem strangely near
To those thai life has shaded.
A. We grow old our tears are few
For friends most lately taken,
But fall-aS falls the summer dew
From rcses lightly shaken
When some chance word or ldle strain,
The chords of memory sweeping,
Unlock the Hood gates Of our pam
For those who taught us weeping.
As We grow old our smiles are rare
Forathosc who greet us daily,
or. II some living faces wear
The looks that beamcd SO gally
From ewes long closed-and We should smile
In answer TO their wooing.
ris but the past that shines the while
our power TO smile renewing.
As We grow Old our dreams at night
Are never of the morrow
They come with vanished pleasure bright,
Or dark with olden sorrow
And when we wake the names We say
Are not OF any mortals.
Eut of those IN some long dead day
Passed through life's sunset portals.
