The aged lose their sight ;
The young may liye to see a morn,
But old age dies with night.
We think as we rise with the morning

Of the beautiful eventide ,
Ofthe morning of youth and maiden

As they glide on side by side.
We think of the giortous noonday glare,
As the noontide merges in,
And we always think as daylight dies,
Of what we might have been.
And oftimes when the shades of night,
| Have clothed old age so dear,
We think of the morning, noon and eve
And see the darkness near.
