Carved with old names Life's time-worn roll disowns, The chestnuts spread their palms like holy men in prayer! Like shrivelled leaves, youth's passion-flowers are cast,-Love bless him, Joy crown him, God speed his career! Come to my arms!--love heeds not years; Shall softly tell us, Thou art near! Thy glory flames from sun and star; Till all thy living altars claim Look on them with thy mild, half-human eyes; To come with love's warm kisses back to thee,-To show thine eyes thy gray-haired father's face, Shall live in accents shaped of blood-warm breath, Would cheat the soul that looks for light from heaven? Shines a new sun for earths that shall be born. Look on this world of yours with opened eyes! ./cache/7393.txt ./txt/7393.txt
