Poem by Walter Alexander Raleigh

Wishes of an Elderly Man Wished at a Garden Party, June 1914

I wish I loved the Human Race; 
I wish I loved its silly face; 
I wish I liked the way it walks; 
I wish I liked the way it talks; 
And when I'm introduced to one 
I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!

1. To a Lady with an Unruly and Ill-Mannered Dog Who Bit Several Persons of Importance
2. The Artist
3. Song of Myself
4. My Last Will
