The Years.

They bring to youth a budding flower, A strain of music sweet; Love’s thrilling dream a sunlit hour — Ful hands and eager feet They bring to middle life content. Brave days and nights of calm; An anthem, on the winds half spent, A knowledge of life's balm. They bring to age the boon of rest— Surcease from labor’s woes— Palo folded hands upon the breast. The triumph of repose. —Lurana W. Sheldon.
