THE SAME YOUNG STRING.

THE SAME YOUNG STRING.
The same young spring is back again,
The same fair leaves and flowers.
As lovely in their grace as when
They charmed my youthful hours;
The birds are Hitting just as sweet
As when their love they trolied.
There's nothing changed.
There's naught estranged-
only have grown Old
The vagrant breeze Is nIurmuring
The same dear happy tune
With fragrant whispers promising
The coming days OF June.
The happy bees and butterflies,
Forgetting winters cold.
Mid blossoms stray
The liVelUng day
/ only have grown old.
The lads and iasses pass me by
They have not changed - all;
Soft glances fly from eye 10 eye,
Love still hath power 10 thrall'
Ay. hearts are won and VOWS are madf
That shall forever hold.
But listening l.
What makes me sigh7
In only have grown old.
The realm Of nataSe's just the same,
The same the sksts above.
The faithful stars rs constant flame
And brightness give TO love;
They. just as kim. are looking down.
Their radiance IS not dOled,
Tnfaded still
On vale and hill
In only have grown old.
Alack-a-day. TO human hearts
What can their spring restnrez
All. when its loveliness departs
'Tis gone forevermore.
Each year the curving rose renewS,
Unfolds its petals sweet.
But man alone.
HNTe'Cr he moan.
