First Line: Two old men with heads together
Last Line: Tread the ways of youth again.
Subject(s): Old Age
Two old men with heads together,
Sitting where young grass is mown,
In the sunny springtime weather,
Tell of May days past and gone
Two old men, with dim eyes dreaming,
Where the apple-blossoms blow
See the far horizon gleaming
With bright scenes of long ago.
Two old men who loved life truly
Murmur slow words now and then...
Nod... and sleep... and dreaming newly,
Tread the ways of youth again.
