poem 5

I've Thirty Months

  1. I've thirty months, and that's my pride,
    Before my age's a double score,
    Though many lively men have died
    At twenty-nine or little more.
  2. I've left a long and famous set
    Behind some seven years or three,
    But there are millions I'd forget
    Will have their laugh at passing me.

    3. 25, ix, 1908.
