KTKKNAL YOUTH
Playmates of the long ago
Comrades whom I used to know
Humping still as once you were
Where thn brown-eyed daisies wtr
1 have changed and withered sera
1 have Journeyed year by ear.
Crowing old and turning gray.
Coming to the downward way.
Haltered by the storms uf life.
Strained and wearied by the strife
Hut you've Kept jour youth and know
All the charuiB of long ago
I can hoar when nights are still
livery cheery whistle sbrtll
Calling me to share jour play;
Never comes a summer day
Hut the dusty lautm I tread
Hare of foot and bate of head
One among you. m uf old.
Strong adventeroua ami bold.
Ami this old man lu his draping
Tired of bordirt plans and behemws
Slips away to be with you
Onyly as he used to da
Playmates nf Hie long ago.
Sleeping where the daisies grow
In those long remembered years.
When I shed my boyish tears
Utile did I know the truth
Yours was everlasting juiilh;
I ha e lived and stood to pain
IJUi a building splashed by rain
1 have seen my glory fade
With the change that time bus made
Hut jour beauty bhows no siar
Kadiautl) young you are!
You have never shed a tear
Xe'er been wounded by a sneer
Never suffered never wept.
All the charms of youth you've TtepU
tJlorious playmates that I knew
Often I have romped with ou.
Shared the games we used to play.
In uur boyhood's month of Hay
Come back with the trees in bloom
And tecalled you from the tomb
Finding sou with cheeks aglow.
