In Retrospect

By BertOn Braley in The American Magazine)
The Fool was at Twenty One!
The little that knew!
The silly thing I'd think about;
The siIlier things I'd do!
Oh, when look upon that youth
And all the dreams he spun,
/ wonder how l could have been
That Fool at Twenty-One.
He thought he knew the world and all
The life that makes it go;
How bruised he was before he learned
How much he didn't know!
No wise folk could enlighten him!
He had his course to run;
And so he went and ran it blind,
That Fool at Twenty-One.
The Fool was at TwentyOne
Before got my sense!
Before learned the obvious things
By dOur experience!
How time was lost in frantic waste
And thriftIess, needless "fun"!-
But how I'd love to be again
That Fool at Twenty-One!
