  2. The Retired Fisherman

    Share Share Post
    The years press cold arms about me
    My place is henceforth on the shore
    I lay down my oars I roll up my sails
    And I'm not going to fish anymore
    I've hauled up my boat on the meadow
    Her anchor is cast on the green
    Where beside her at evening I'll sit and I'll smoke
    And think of the days that have been.
