A Career Comments

A frightening destiny- to live and nobody notices- -He lived a silent life alone, And laid him down when it was done; And at his head was placed a stone On which was carved a name unknown!

Does anyone know the history of this poem? I get the sense that it's slightly autobiographical and that he wrote the first part as a young man and added the ending later.

Good rhyme in balladic patterns. Captivating lines
