Poem Recalled When 98
Mr. Johnstori quoted this poerp (author unknown) to
the correspondent of the Clinton News-Record in 1964.
Blower, and slower he passes by
As the days go one by one.
And the dimness bars ihis one bright eye
As he totters onward with a sigh
To the end — when time is done.
We saw him as he one-time strode
With a step so swift and sure
When blood and bones were strong and young.
When the voice was hale as the mind and tongue
■When the future was secure.
To-day another takes his place
In the race that calls for speed
And to-morrow quickly shall ei’ase
JFlemembrance of a familiar face
As youth, assumes the need.
Then gently shed for him a tear
And forget him not too soon,
For we must walk the path he takes
And give up all that he now forsakes
In a life’s late afternoon.
