When Youth Hns PInyed.

When youth has played its little games
And gone us careless ways
And rolling years have brought 1t to
The retrospective days.
There is sigh In youths old heart.
And whore regrets loom dark
The passing stings OF careless thinEa
Have left their lasting mark
There Is no idiing by the paths
or dalliance, and romance
Has sung It's last unthinking song
And danced its last mad dance:
But in the place OF froth of life
There Is the weight OF years
And where youths foolish laughter rang.
Old age shall shed it's tears.
when youth has played its little games
And folly had it's fling.
There is touch OF sadness in
The thought cf-everything!
Fut sitting by the hearth. Old Age
Can smile. and drive away
The gathering wrinkles and be Young
AS young AS yesterday.
