It’s Not Just Youth

Old age ends too,
And may be twice
Or three times as
Short-timed as youth.

You say what you
Want or at least
Love won’t last? Well,
Nor will what you

Did not, don’t want.
You start as what
You’ve been told you
You are. You will

End as what you
Left of what you
Lost of you. All
The rest is youth.
