The Years

Agnes Lee

If they should bring him the shock of a sudden gladness
It would be best to prepare him a little, saying:
“Careful, careful, careful! A great joy is coming!”

All his years go by in a blur of whiteness—
They are faces lying on life for a flash and forgotten,
That rise as drowning faces and disappear.
