Sixty-five sits easy on the throne, Intending to relinquish soon his power. Xylophones rejuvenate the hour, Tinkling of a time less far from home, Years when the gift of life was in full flower. For now, there is the daydream of a bower In which one lives for harmony alone. Vistas of the old, abandoned tower Etch against the sky the days of stone.
