LINE o. CHEER
BY JOHN kENDRicK BANGS
A RESOLVE

THAT day Will | be old
When unto Youth I'm cold.
And skies In sunlight clear
My spirit fail to cheer.
When there shall come a morn
When In the day reborn
I truly fail to see
The Joys 1t holds for me.
Then will | turn the page
That ushers me to Age.
Admitting the sad truth
That gone indeed is Youth
But until then will /
The loss of Ii deny.
