Twenty-nine enjoys a certain peace, Well beyond the waterfalls of youth. Even though the current still moves on, Now it slowly slides beneath a calm, Tranquil surface mirroring the truth. Years bring change, but now change will decrease.   Now the restless surges, raw, uncouth, In passing through the heart will do less harm; Nor will the ravages of wonder cease, Even as they take a different form.
