“Turn, turn, my wheel! 'Tis nature's plan The child should grow into the man, The man grow wrinkled, old, and gray; In youth the heart exults and sings, The pulses leap, the feet have wings; In age the cricket chirps, and brings The harvest home of day.” AgePoetryGrowing UpChildhoodAgingPoems Author:Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
