Poem by Eleanor Farjeon

When You Say

When you say, I still am young,
You are young no more;
When, I’m old, is on your tongue,
Age is still in store.

Youth and age will never grope
To say what they may be:
One only knows it has a hope,
And one a certainty.

1. Sonnets. 16. O lovely life, how you have worn me out
2. Sonnets. 12. I hear love answer: Since within the mesh
3. Sonnets. 18. Shall we not laugh together, you and I
4. The Reflection
5. Vagrant Songs
