Originators like Thomas Bailey Aldrich:

Or light or dark, or short or tall,
She sets a springe to snare them all:
All's one to her—above her fan
She'd make sweet eyes at Caliban.

To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent—that is to triumph over old age.

It is the Lord's Day, and I do believe that cheerful hearts and faces are not unpleasant in His sight.
