I have walked the world for four score years, And they say I hat I am old That my heart is ripe foi (he reaper Dealli And my years are well nigh told, It is very true-it ik very truoe I am old, and I ''bide my time ;" Biut my heart will leap at a scone liko this, And I half renew my prime. Play on f play on f I am with you there, In the midst :of your merry ring ; I vani fool the thrill of Ihe darling jump, And the rush of tie breathless swing I hide with you in ieto fragant hay, And whoop the sirotbored call, And my feet slip up on the seedy floor, And I care not for the full. I an willing to die when my Ii me shall come, And I shall be glad to go For the world, at best,is a weary place, And my pulse is getting low ; Dut the grave is dark, and the heart will fail In trending Its gloomy way A nd it Niles my breast frow its (reariness To sea the young so gay.
