[hometext] => a poet's story - an old man's dream to his first grandchild
[bodytext] => Once When I Was Young Once when I was young And full of words I could take wing above The grass And find the underneath Of leaves I could sing the sky Into the earth Dance upon the grave Of love And court eternity Now when I am old And full of rivers run I find their whirlings are gone They have forgotten My eyes that loved their banks They ignore My war, my loss, My youth that scorned Their flowing and structured grace To say, ‘Old man, sleep, Dream on in your last Longing words of poetry’ [comments] => 1 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 69 [informant] => richard2 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => poets )
