THE OLD MAJV DREAMS. 9 1 THE OLD MAN DREAMS.
for one hour of youthful joy ! Give back my twentieth spring !
1 'd rather laugh a bright-haired boy Than reign a gray-beard king !
Off with the wrinkled spoils of age !
Away with learning's crown ! Tear out life's wisdom-written page, And dash its trophies down !
One moment let my life-blood stream From boyhood's fount of flame !
Give me one giddy, reeling dream Of life all love and fame !
My listening angel heard the prayer, And calmly smiling, sai...d, " If I but touch thy silvered hair.
Thy hasty wish hath sped.
" But is there nothing in thy track To bid thee fondly stay, While the swift seasons hurry back To find the wished-for day ? " — Ah, truest soul of womankind ! Without thee, what were life ?
92 OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
One bliss I cannot leave behind : I '11 take — my — precious — wife !
— The angel took a sapphire pen And wrote in rainbow dew, " The man would be a boy again, And be a husband too ! " — " And is there nothing yet unsaid Before the change appears ?
