________________________________________________
Title: Academus Author: William Johnson Cory [More Titles by Cory] Perhaps there's neither tear nor smile, My summers lapse away beneath I cheer the games I cannot play; I roam, where little pleasures fall, The wishes dawning in the eyes, The quenchless hope, the honest choice, The wonder flushing in the cheek, Oh, better than the world of dress I'll borrow life, and not grow old; And when I may no longer live, [The end] GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
