- THE OLD MEN ADMIRING THEMSELVES IN THE WATER
-
- I HEARD the old, old men say,
- "Everything alters,
- And one by one we drop away."
- They had hands like claws, and their knees
- Were twisted like the old thorn-trees
- By the waters.
- I heard the old, old men say,
- "All that's beautiful drifts away
- Like the waters."
