THE WAY OF IT, by                    
First Line: The day is born at sunrise time
Last Line: As old hearts fail, grow still.
Subject(s): Dawn; Day; Life; Sunrise


The day is born at sunrise time,
And lovely as may be,
It charms the eye and heart and soul
Like young hearts glad and free.

But when the day is at its noon
And growing old and slow,
It seems the middle way of life
With some good years to go.

Then comes the rose hued sundown time,
To fade and thus fulfill
The passing of the day away,
As old hearts fail, grow still.
