By changes strange to see,
The cypress so funereal
To a lightsome fairy tree;
Men and modes and matters change

A sulky fifty-six, he finds
A change of mealtime utter hell,
Grown far too crotchety to like
A luxury hotel.

In varying luster glows,
Her face at every moment

Why to thy lover only
Should spring return in vain?
