LIFE LINES
Ah, no—you’re not as youthful now
As when you came to me—
And yet, those furrows in your brow.
My Dear, I seldom see.
But when I do observe them, though,
And sometimes see a hair
Dr two, that’s turning gray, I know
I helped to put them there!
But as I sec your youth depart
And middle age draw near,
I do not pine, with yearning heart,
For one more youthful year!
W? For though, of course, we older grow,
And each year takes its due,
Both you and I as lovers know
Life grows the sweeter, too.
