of its activities. But the choice had
been between that and nothing, for the

perspiration, he hurried from the ward

And the splendors that surround him and
the joys about him spread
Only seem to rise to haunt him with the
boyhood that has fed.
When the hair about the temples starts
to show Times silver stain,
Then the richest mans that living yearns
to be boy again.
