Public Domain Poetry And Stories - Old Age. by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
Old age is courteous no one more:
For time after time he knocks at the door,
But nobody says, "Walk in, sir, pray!"
Yet turns he not from the door away,
But lifts the latch, and enters with speed.
And then they cry "A cool one, indeed!"
