In the Autumn of Life -- a poem

17 comments


In the Autumn of Life

Yesterday a flower,
A-blooming in the Lee,
Was holding up its head so high,
For all the world to see.

Today its withered petals,
A-fading on stems once green.
Its beauty then is waning now,
As autumn sets the scene.

Tomorrow when I amble here,
A-seeking my gift so fair.
Will it still savour life on earth,
Or live in the great elsewhere.
