An Old Story
Hello everyone, Praise the Lord!
I just recently bought an old book of poetry, and I noticed a nice little poem of friendship, and lost opportunities. I wanted to share it with you.
A Book of Treasured Poems, compiled and edited by William R. Bowlin. Published by Laidlaw Brothers, in 1923.
AN OLD STORY
Strange that I did not know him then,
That friend of mine.
I did not even show him then
One friendly sign.
But cursed him for the ways he had
To make me see
My envy of the praise he had
For praising me.
I would have rid the earth of him
Once, in my pride!...
I never knew the worth of him
Until he died.
Written by the American poet, Edwin Arlington Robinson. 1869-1935.
