Explore "Age to Youth" by Edith Nesbit on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
SUNRISE is in your eyes, and in your heart / The hope and bright desire of morn and May.
My eyes are full of shadow, and my part / Of life is yesterday.
Yet lend my hand your hand, and let us sit / And see your life unfolding like a scroll, / Rich with illuminated blazon, fit / For your arm-bearing soul.
My soul bears arms too, but the scroll's rolled tight, / Yet the one strip of faded brightness shown / Proclaims that when 'twas splendid in the light / Its blazon matched your own.
