Bright image of a realm of song,
The heart.html">heart is dead, the man.html">man.html">man is old.
When girls we might have loved turn cold!
So ancient to myself I seem,
A year ago;--
And now be wandering with my sires
Half disbelieve, and prize the more!
Yet spruce I am/am.html">am/am.html">am, and still can mix
A youth and girl
Play round each other's bosom fires,
But now I'm otherwise employed!
Am I a thing without a name;
"Not young, not old:"
Of misery in that lengthened phrase;
My forehead's wrinkled,--that's the truth!
I hardly know which road to go.
Well, then, with those
Doomed to mere fashionable ways,--
Sighs, mirrors, and society?
Is it a folly still to twirl,
About the town?
A man becomes downright _blast_
That, or what I am--call it, "Neither."
Oh, for a hint what we shall do,
Who'd be sedate?
To pose persistently to-day
When I _did_ try them long ago!
Suppose I hurry up the tide
Those hoary dogs
Around the clubs where life is hushed?
To this year's new bewildering belle!
Hold, man, the secret broad and huge,
If bald and gray
You're only thirty: don't be crushed;
Be off to China:--your day's done!
Hand me my light gloves, James;
The kingdom of Strauss and that--
_Is_ my hair properly curled?
When I am rosily twirling
The Pearl among circling pearls,
Envy me, won't you, James?
For a heart lost along with her fan,
For the care of an invalid soul,
I have for my precious own
Ah, the waltz is my mastering passion!
As love to my turning feet,
.
