H GOLDEN AGE.

There are no days like bygone days.
50 thinks the senile heart,
No ways there are like ancient ways,
None now such bliss impart;
For when the vision back is cast
1t sees u golden age.
That heart then signs for all the past
And deems the action sage.
The brightest days are coming days,
Atiirms the youth i'll glee,
And on the future is his gaze
While present moments flee.
The golden age is yet to beam
Before his eager mind,
And thus his thoughts with luster CLEAN
As they their views unbind.
But to the sensual epicure
The olden age is now.
With plenty near his joy is sure,
And pleasure crowns his brow.
Within the present days he tries
To taste the chiefest good,
Asserting that the rich and wise
Are those supplied with food.
The true philosophy is found
In looking up and on
Away from sordid, earthly ground
Toward everlasting dawn.
The better life beyond us lies,
Declares the sacred page,
And those who look with faith lit eyes
Discern the golden age.
