OLD AGE.
Days of my jouth, ye have glided away;
Hairs of my youthye are frosted and gray;
Eyes of my youth, your keen sight is no more;
Cheeks of my youth, ye are furrowed all o'er;
Strength of tay youth, all your vigor is gone;
Thonghtsof my youth,your gay visions are flown.
Days of my youth, I wish not your recall;
Hairs of my youth, I'm content ye should fall;
Eyes of my youth, you much evil have 6een;
Cheeks of my youth, bathed in tears you have
been ;
Thoughts of my youth, you have led me astray;
Strength of my youth, why lament your decay?
Days of my age, ye will shortly be passed;
Pains of my age, yet awhile you can last;
Joys of my age, in true wisdom delight; -Eyes
of my age, be religion your light;
Thoughts of my age, dread ye Dot the cold sd;
Hopes of my age, be ye fixed on your God.
