JG Saxe - I’m Growing Old  



I'm growing fonder of my staff;

  I'm growing dimmer in the eyes;

  I'm growing fainter in my laugh;

  I'm growing deeper in my sighs;

  I'm growing careless of my dress;

  I'm growing frugal of my gold;

  I'm growing wise; I'm growing,—yes,—

  I'm growing old.
