I go gray before I have rendered youth its due,
I grow gray, though I have not paid youth its due,
though no long span of youth’s season has passed.
And not long has passed since the days of youth.

Scattered gray hairs glimmer amid the blackness—
Scattered strands of gray gleam in the blackness,
and what good is a night with no stars in it?
And what good is a night with no stars?
