Sixty-two is not an age for mourning. In time one takes a long and varied tour. Xylophones may tinkle without warning, Then turn to screams one hardly can endure. Yet of change itself one can be sure. There is within us all, forever dawning, Whether chaste or wisely immature, Of hunger wrought, a joy unbound and pure.
