We That Are Old
We that are old have little will ' To linger on; /J Life may be well enough, but still W The zest has gone. A Yet if death came for us one day We should feel cheated; W The hope, for which zve crave to stay, . M Would be defeated. A We live each day, zve live each night, n With a dumb pride, Id Confident we shall sec the right X Yet justified— Shall see that monstrous braggart strength (7 Crushed and down-borne— X Confident that the world at length Will share our scorn. “h
