A poem by William Lisle Bowles

Age

________________________________________________
Title:     Age
Author: William Lisle Bowles [More Titles by Bowles]

Age, thou the loss of health and friends shalt mourn!
But thou art passing to that night-still bourne,
Where labour sleeps. The linnet, chattering loud
To the May morn, shall sing; thou, in thy shroud,
Forgetful and forgotten, sink to rest;
And grass-green be the sod upon thy breast!







[The end]
William Lisle Bowles's poem: Age
