Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Maturity
For mark the savage with his simple wants
—Content, if in the sunshine he may bask!
The torpor of indifference him enchants,
And drowsy negligence of any task
Save that of blinking at the stars; the mask
Of the wide globe 'wilders his childish brain,
And so a thousand years he will remain.
