IT'S forty years since l saw you little Gold Fish in
the Vase!
lust forty years ago each other, face to ace
was younger, by just forty years, and you were
brighter then
Do forty years adversely tell on gold fish, on
men?
Your lady mistress says she's known you but year
or so,
And hardly thinks we could have met just forty
years ago,
But well do remember the morning we met then
How the world had a splendor which it will not
wear again.
1t is not strange that you show age; that time
should tell on you;
For you full OF glory then like everything
that's new;
And how the gold flashed from you, and filled me
full OF JOY
Unlike the gold Pve gathered since touched with
the worlds alloy.
How have you lost your beauty little Gold Fish in
the Vase!
Since forty years ago met each other face to face?
You do not seem so happy now, are not so full Of
The light that lit the water in your vase has gone
away.
And all around me shows too how changed are
How birds have lost the radiance and brightness
from their wings,
And how from all their little songs the music has
gone out
And how the ring is wanting in the rustic school
boys shout.
l would like find another little gold fish in a vase,
Just like you forty years ago when we met face to
Would like to find world like this forty years
ago,
For the glory of its sunshine will OF return know
As all things seem so changed wish you'd look me
in the face,
And tell me if seem changed too, little Gold Fish
in the Vase!
For if light and freshness perish so in everything
we see,
Perhaps to you the faded thing you seem
tome.
And. after all wonder il it may not truly be
That all the change there is all is just the change
in me;
That you, and all the world are fresh and lovely
is nso,
Exactly as all seemed to me just forty years ago?
And little Gold Fish in the Vase in forty years, or So
Wen meet to find the light restored of forty years
ago,
For He love Father could not save me through
His grace
II he could not you just as we'll little Gold
Fish in the Vase!
NOTE is it certain that mind engrossed by the
binding work of mouey-gettng will at the age of
