THE OLD MEN
We old men, We are not what we seem, As we go down the street. In our old eyes Are jolly boyish memories: We have seen horses swerve, Ships on the high seas; We have seen the crimson curve Upon a young girl’s cheek. . . . Silent, on owl’s wings, Come back the intrepid things. We are not what you think, We are not afraid of death As we go down the street. —Ernest Rhys.
