ing youthWith the old warmth of hospitality.No more we see him leaning on his staff.Measuring with vigorous step his wonted way ;Nor mark, amid the mellowness of age,26 301 302 MOUNT AUBURN. Those fruits, wliich tlirouo;li the tears and clouds of life?Ripened for heaven. T is mournful thus to seeThe fathers of our city, one by one,Take up their dwelling with the silent worm.We shrink to fill their places. Reverend men,Of such well-balanced and rare energies.Courteous and dignified, and true of heart,We dread to find their high example gone ;We grieve that thus th insatiate grave should lockThe gold of their experience. Oer lifes tide,We steer without them, by a broken chart.Too late lamenting we so lightly prizedThe pilotage of wisdom, while it dweltWith hoary head among us. Grant us grace,Father of all! so to revere the wordsOf saintly age, and so to keep the pathOf those who pass before us unto Thee,That, shunning snares and pitfalls, we may comeTo the sure mansions of eternal life.
