The allusion to Midas reveals the differences in ages between the speaker and the chaperon. This allusion is higlighted in the explanation

Explanation:

And as those aged crickets chirp,

I watch my chaperon's face,

And see the dear old features take

A new and tender grace;

And in her happy eyes I see

Her youth awakening bright,

With all its hope, desire, delight--

Ah, me! I wish that I were quite

As young--as young as she!
