More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
ON LEARNING THAT THE WORLD
REVOLVES MORE SLOWLY


REVOLVES MORE SLOWLY
Just as we fancied that we might
Ease up bit our working hours,
Relax trifIe in the fight
AUD thus conserve our failing
powers,
Just as we thought to fill our cup
With the ingredients of pleasure
We learn the world is slowing up
And we must toll in fuller measure.
When we We're youngAsay twenty
AS Ger our daily task We bended,
We never would have grieved to see
The time we spent at work eX-
tended.
For we We're eager, blithe and gay,
With zest we followed our en-
ployment
And though it seems most odd to-
day,
1t brought us actual enjoyment.
But now the weary minutes drag
Despite our resolute endeavor,
Our spirits-once so bounding-flag,
Each clock tick seems to last for
ever.
And since the world moves not so
fast
AS in the days when we were
stronger
We really feel we cannot last
That thousandth of second longer,
But such alas, is human fate,
When man has lost his youthful
ardor
And longs his labors to abate
The stint that he is set grows
harder.
When he has passed his lusty prime,
So scientific men have reckoned
He has to- put in extra time
