Eighty Years and More

IT'S yet high day, thy staff resume
And fight fresh battles for the trutf
For what Is age but youths full bloom
A rlper, more transcendent YOUTH
a weight OF gold
8 IL never old;
Streams broaded grow as downwar
rolled.
At sixty.two life has begun:
At seventy.three begin once more:
Fly swifter as thou near st the sun,
And brighter shine at eighty-four;
At ninety-flve
Shouldst thou arrive
still wait on God, and wotk and thrive
oliver Wendell Holmes
Onward thou shalt go,
Bearing thy own and cheering others
woe;
Treadins the path where guidins angels
lead
And scattering on thy way the priceless
seed
Which, sown In tears, is harvested In
Joy.
