Of an ancient tale to trace, fF illed with all the mystic learning IO fa strange, forgotten race; Ye who deem that real wisdom In the past doth hidden lie, And the present is but folly, Pass me gently, kindly, by. For I have not sought in volumes Dim and musty with old age, And as quaint as ancient fashions. Themes and stories for my page; I have only tried to gather. As in lavish waste they lay. Thoughts and lessons lightly pictured On the fresh leaves of to-day.
