Classic and Contemporary Poetry

OLD-MADE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THE GREATER MYSTERY IT IS
Last Line: OF MUCH MATURE REFLECTION.
Subject(s): AGING; SELECTIVITY;
The greater mystery it is
The more we think upon it,
That 'tis the oldest style of Miss
That wants the youngest bonnet.

Nor is it levity of mind
That leads to such selection,
For 'tis the fruit we often find
Of much @3mature reflection@1.
