Laugh not, Youth, at Age! Lyrics by Robert Lucas Pearsall

0

Laugh not, Youth, at Age!
It has been as you
The grandsire bears the stamp of other days
And custom long gone by
He may not mingle in the sportive throng
His limbs are stiff, his energy belongs
Not to a light fantastic age like ours
But to a time when he
And those who lived and loved with him
Paced in the stately long-forgotten dance
To measures slow and sweet
Gracefully moving, they traversed the floor
Bending, receding, with courtly salute
Yet were they neither tame nor cold
Love ruled their pulses as he ruleth now;
And feet that stept formally bore up
Young hearts, which were warm with emotions
That kindle now in yours
