Eye hath not seen, tongue hath not told,
And ear hath not heard it sung,
How buoyant and bold, though it seem to grow old,
Is the heart, forever young; - Forever young, - though life's old age
Hath every nerve unstrung:
The heart, the heart, is a heritage
That keeps the old man young! (Martin Farquhar Tupper)

Eye hath not seen, tongue hath not told, And ear hath not heard it sung, How buoyant and bold, though it seem to grow old, Is the heart, forever young; - Forever young, - though life's old age Hath every nerve unstrung: The heart, the heart, is a heritage That keeps the old man young!
