I thank my God because my hairs are grey!
#1
I thank my God because my hairs are grey!
But have gray hairs brought wisdom? Doth the flight
Of summer birds, departed while the light
Of life is lingering on the middle way,

Predict the harvest nearer by a day?
Will the rank weeds of hopeless appetite
Droop at the glance and venom of the blight
That made the vermeil bloom, the flush so gay,

Dim and unlovely as a dead worm’s shroud?
Or is my heart, that, wanting hope, has lost
The strenght and rudder of resolve, at peace?

Is it no longer wrathful, vain, and proud?
Is it a Sabbath, or untimely frost,
That makes the labour of the soul to cease?
