OLD AGE Gone long ago are they who gave us birth; Old friends are memories upon this earth; Our lives are undermined and daily sink, Like trees upon the river's sandy brink.

Tawney

Our parents long have passed away.   All old familiar faces fled. Destruction nears us day by day,   Like trees in sandy river-bed.

LXXI Fallen our father, fallen who bore For us the pangs — they went before: And some with our years grew, but they, They too now tread on memory's dusty way. And we ourselves from morn to morn Now shiver like old trees forlorn Upon a sandy shore, and all Our care the lapping waves that haste our fall.

Mādhavānanda

  वयं येभ्यो जाताश्चिरपरिचिता एव खलु ते     समं यै: संवृद्धा: स्मृतिविषयतां तेऽपि गमिता: ।   इदानीमेते स्म: प्रतिदिवसमासन्नपतना     गतास्तुल्यावस्थां सिकतिलनदीतीरतरुभि: ।।४८।। 48. Those from whom we were born, well, they are now on intimate footing with Eternity (long dead); those with whom we were brought up have also become objects of memory. Now (that we have become old) we are ap­proaching nearer to our fall day by day, our condition being comparable to that of trees on the sandy bank of a river. [चिरपरिचिता:—a simpler reading is चिरपरिगता:]

Translation by John Cort: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxvrfY6XwAMBqPa?format=jpg My parents died   many years ago. Childhood friends live on   only in my memory. Any day now   you will hear the news     of my passing. I am like an old tree   living by a river, my weak roots   clinging     to the crumbling,       sandy bank.
