THEY TELL ME I AM GROWING OLD.
They tell me I am growing old,
My locks are thin and gray,
And many a furrow's on my cheek—
Sad tokens of decay I
Alas I I littlelh3ught that time
Was working thus with me,
Although so plain its deep-made lines
On others I could see. -
They tell me I am growing old,
My step is now more slow ;
A stair I need to lean upon,
As tremblingly Igo.
And what was pleasure to ma once
Has lost its power to charm ;
Familiar scenes are grniving strange;
Familiar sounds alarni.
They tell me I am growing old,
The light fades From my eye—
And rarest beauties scarce are seen
That in my pathway lie ;
And when the sound of music comes—
flow dull it strikes the ear!
IVo chord is touched within my breast,
Its cotes have ceased to cheer.
They tell me I am growing old,
Older than most of men ;
For, oh ! bow few have reached the age
Of three-score years and ten !
Now all the friends of early youth,
Who shared life's joy with me,
Have gone—all gone,and I'm alone,
No mare their forms to see.
The, tell me I am growing old—
I know they tell the truth ;
For long ago has passed away,
The bright Spring time of youth.
Yet still with pleasure I recall
Those bright and sunny hours,
When I could sport in childislt4ays,
Or gambol in the bowers.
They tell me I am growing old.
Yes, life will soon be o'er;
Its sun, once bright and radiant,
WIII rise to act no:more.
'Then, when my body deep is lain
Within its grave so cold,
1 . 1 , W tin (leaven dwell,
Without, becoming old.
