out of the harshness of the gallows
with its apparent sadness and fadeless echoes
follows yet more sorrows
paraded outside these walls in transparent shadows
a lot born
a lot gone
many not seen
many seen but long forgotten
all the kids have now grown
tall enough with little beards of their own
the once lustrous shiny faces
ever shining in perfect dimples
are now set; but in new Christmas cases
marked in remarkable old wrinkles
perhaps I have gone for long
for I still remember I was very young:
