We chase around
Most anywhere;
But, older grown,
Before the crate
We like to sit
And contemplate.
Youths fondest dreams,
Though bright and fair.
With middle ages
Don't compare.
Youth tries to work
The thought out schemes;
The older man
Just SITS and dreams.
Youth thinks of love
And fame and wealth;
His elder turns
To ease and health.
The former wishes
To be shown;
The latter to
Be let alone.

Are on his head,
When youth adown
Tho way has fed.

Sage and wise,
