I'Ll Tell Thee Everything I Can Comments

A well chosen 'Poem of the Day'!

'Whose look was mild, whose speech was slow, Whose hair was whiter than the snow, Whose face was very like a crow, With eyes, like cinders, all aglow, Who seemed distracted with his woe, Who rocked his body to and fro' - Loved the rhymes, and the humour too.

Of that old man I used to know Whose look was mild, whose speech was slow, Whose hair was whiter than the snow, Whose face was very like a crow, With eyes, like cinders, all aglow, Who seemed distracted with his woe, ......so beautifully described in perfect rhythm.

He said, 'I look for butterflies That sleep among the wheat; I make them into mutton-pies, And sell them in the street. Great poem. tony
