"I need never get old"

I need never get old,

said the rock in the wind,

said the snow in the cold.

Said I to my youth as it went;

no traceable touch was left where you were,

time spent escaping left a mark, left me spent.

I will never remember,

said the heart to the head,

said the wheel to the road.

I need never get old,

said the rock in the wind,

said the snow in the cold.
