Question and Answer


SHE

When Time has robbed me of my years,
And tell-tale lines invest my eyes
With channels ploughed by dint of tears,
Whilst here and there a hair appears
Turned silver by Time's sighs.

For he has come quite unawares
And breathed his sighs upon my head,
Whilst I, weighed down with earthly cares,
Have recked not of the passing years,
But sought my daily bread.
