 From torrid heat to frigid cold
 I've rovered land and sea;
And now, with halting heart I hold
 My grandchild on my knee:
Yet while I've eighty years all told,
 Of moons she has but three.

She sleeps, that fragile miniature
 Of future maidenhood;
She will be wonderful, I'm sure,
 As over her I brood;
She is so innocent, so pure,
 I know she will be good.

My way I've won from woe to weal,
 And hard has been the fight;
Yet in my ingle-nook I feel
 A wondrous peace to-night;
And over me serenely steal
 Warm waves of love and light.

"What sloppy stuff!" I hear you say.
 "Give us a lusty song."
Alas! I'm bent and gnarled and grey,--
 My life may not be long:
Yet let its crown of glory be
 This child upon me knee.

 By parents I would not be pinned,
 Nor in my home abide,
For I was wanton as the wind
 And tameless as the tide;
So scornful of domestic hearth,
 And bordered garden path,
I sought the wilder ways of earth,
 The roads of wrath.

It scares me now to think of how
 Foolhardily I fared;
Though mighty scarred of pelt and pow
 A dozen deaths I've dared;
Yet there are trails I would explore,
 And wilds that for me wait . . .
Alas! I'll wander nevermore,--
 The hour's too late.

The folks are at my picture show,
 I smoke my pipe and sigh.
Soft-slippered by the ember's glow
 A baby-sitter I.
Behold! In dressing-gown of mauve,
 To comfort reconciled,
A rover rocks the cradle of
 His new grand-child.
