Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, |
| translated by N. N. 71 |
| 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!" |
