Myself i thinks sounds like a lament for a child from a parents perspective, sorta like their remembering how their child used to be when they was young. For example the line ' How can you grow old you were my Triumph? ' makes me think that this is what the parent is thinking, along the lines of thinking that when their child was young it was the parents triumph, shining glory , etc etc. And now that they have grown older and dont depend on them anymore the parent longs for their child to revert back to their childhood.
