Though age may leave on form and face
The lasting impress Of His hand,
And We shall walk with f1attering pace
That dim and shad0wy border land.
oh, may our hearts untouched by time
Grow younger in that darker cline.
Though centuries to cycles grow
And rivers still flow to the main, r..
When we have passed from earth we know
We shall not tread these paths again.
Oh, then while here may our hearts be
Like those Of childhood, pure and free!
II we would teach mankind the way
That leads unto higher plane
OF duty than they walk to-day
Our hearts must first grow young again.
LIES rarest charms can not atone
For pure young hearts now older grown.
But waywOrn. weary with the strife,
Where maddening passions spurn control,
How Oft the cares and tolls OF life
Tend to contract and dwarf the soul,
And hearts that long were light and free
Lose their chlldlike simplicity.
