Poems (Hazlett-Bevis)/Keep the Heart Young

by Sophia Courtoulde Hazlett-Bevis

Keep the Heart Young.

We never grow old if we keep the heart young,
 Tho' phantom shadows fall
Among the tresses that once were so brown;
 They come to one and all.
Eyes will not dim if the light in the soul
 Is fed by kindly ray,
And the smile that hovers around Love's lips
 Grows sweeter day by day.
