Oh I that each of us might die When we're at the best ! Pass away harmoniously To some fitting rest ! No travestied childhood then Could abuse the word, — Each would say, a man to men, " I go — so wills the Lord." Then the Few whose age endured With untarnished worth. Would go down with &me assured, Moral kings of earth : 86 Tke Old Matis Song, Then such memo*ries as the young Now can only claun, Would entrance the loving tongue With the honoured name. Then nor Love nor Life would pall. Ere its... work was done : Honest tears would freely fall — Tears that injure none. Sad indeed to close dear eyes That shall gaze no more ; How much sadder to despise Those revered before ! Think not that the world would lose By the' arrested heart ; All men, at some moment, choose The diviner part : Happy then to close their lot Wheresoever found. Garnered up, nor left to rot On the' ungenial ground. THE OLD MAN'S SONG. Age is not a thing to measure By the course of moon or star j Time's before us ; at our pleasure We may follow near or far : The Old Maris Song.
