Growing Old
What is it to grow old
Is it to lose the glory of the form,
The lustre of the eye
Is it for beauty to forego her wreath
What is it to grow old
Is it to lose the glory of the form,
The lustre of the eye
Is it for beauty to forego her wreath
O the green things growing, the green things growing,
The faint sweet smell of the green things growing
I should like to live, whether I smile or grieve,
Just to watch the happy life of my green things growing
Yup
A long lazy September lookin the mirrorsay it's true
I'm 31and my nose is growingold
It starts about 1/2an inchbelow the bridgeand strolls geriatricallydownfor another inch or so:stopping
Be with me,
Beauty, for the fire is dying;
My dog and I are old, too old for roving
Man, whose young passion sets the spindrift flying,
