Selected Poetry, 2 4M NOT OLD.

We know not the author of the following

ues, nor how, or at what time, they came to find a place in the * Drawer, but there is no reader who will not pronounce them very touching and beautiful. — Harper, Magazine, May, 1849.

{ am not old—I cannot be old, hough three- score years and ten Have wasted away like a tale that is told, rhe lives of other men.

{ am not old—though friends and foes Alike have gone to their graves;

And left me alone to my joys and my WO, As a rock in the midst of the waves.

fam not old—I cannot be old,

rhough tottering, wrinkled, and gray ; rhough my eyes are dim, and my marrow is cold, t me not old to-day!

for early memories round me throng, Of times, and of manners, and men,

As I look behind on my journey 80 long, Of three-score miles and ten.

ipiook be hind and am once more young, Buoyant, and brave, and bold; |

And my heart can sing as of yore it sung, nefore they called me old.

Lad her—the old wile there— Shrivelled, and haggard, and gray; But I leok on her blooming, soft, and fair.

.s she was on her wedding day.

i do not see you, daughters and sons, In the likeness of women and men, Rut I kiss you now as I kissed you once,

My fond little ¢ hildren then.

And as my own grandson rides on my knee, Or plays with bis hoop or kite,

I ean well recollect I was as merry as he, rhe bright eyed little wight!

ris not long since—it cannot be long,

My years so soon Were spent, Since | was a boy, both straight and strong,

fat pow I am feeble and bent,

A dream, a dream—it is all a dream! A strange, sad dream, good sooth ;

For old as I am, and old as I seem, My heart is full of youth.

Eye hath not seen, tongue hath not told, And ear hath not heard it sung, liow buoyant and bold, tho’ it seems to) erow old, Is the heart forever young!

Forever young—though life's old age. jlath every nerve unsirung, Pie heart, the beart is a heritage, } jhat keeps the old man young!
