Awake To Smile (by Gator8282)

When I blink sunshine in my eyes and hail the amber morn, Before the rosy dew-drop dries with sparkle on the thorn; When boughs with robin rapture ring, and bees hum in the may,- Then call me young, with heart of spring, Though I be grey. But when no more I know the joy and urgence of that hour, As like a happy-hearted boy I leap to land a flower; When gusto I no longer feel to rouse with glad hooray,- Then call me old and let me steal from men away. Let me awaken with a smile and go to garden glee, for there is such a little while of living left to me; But when star-wist I frail away Lord, let the hope beguile that to ecstatic light I may awake to smile!!!
