A year's a post, on which
     It saith
The distance - growing less -
     To Death.

Some posts I missed, beguiled
     By Song
And Beauty, as I passed
     Along.

But sad am I to think
     This day
Of forty posts passed on
     My way.

For not one post I now
     Must pass
Will 'scape these eyes of mine,
     Alas!
