The Vision of the Wonderful Miles.
Over the distance of vanishing years, We look back with smiles that are blended with tears. And over the journey of Wearisome Miles, We look back with tears intermingled with smiles. Recalling the Days that, had we but known, Our arms should have cherished, before they had flown. We look back with joy at the keenness we knew When our youth was full-vigoured, and enterprise grew. At the days when the glamour all life seemed a part— At the days ere was known the regret of the heart. We look back with thankfulness deep for love gained— That Flower whoso fragrance the Years have retained. And, blessing the Vision of Wonderful Miles, We gaze at the Years,—rich with tears and with smiles. —From "Red Roses," by Helen Carew.
