MEADOW SAFFRON—Colchicsum Autumnalis.
“My best days are past.”
My locks still wear their sunny brown,
My cheek, unfurrowed, glows with health,
And though life's sands are running down,
The miser mind still guards its wealth.
My cheek, unfurrowed, glows with health,
And though life's sands are running down,
The miser mind still guards its wealth.
Mine eye is bright, though steeped in tears,
My limbs with vigor still are strung,
And measuring life by strength, not years,
I feel my heart, my heart is young!
My limbs with vigor still are strung,
And measuring life by strength, not years,
I feel my heart, my heart is young!
