In his great cushioned chair by the fender / An old man sits dreaming to-night, / His withered hands, licked by the tender, / Warm rays of the red anthracite, / Are folded before him, all listless; / His dim eyes are fixed on the blaze, / While over him sweeps the resistless / Flood-tide of old days.
