FORTUNE'S WHEEL, by JOHN BYRNE LEICESTER WARREN Poet's Biography First Line: I had a true-love, none so dear Last Line: So alone in the cold I end. Alternate Author Name(s): Lancaster, William P.; Preston, George F.; De Tabley, 3d Baron; De Tabley, Lord Subject(s): Fortune | |||
I HAD a true-love, none so dear, And a friend both leal and tried: I had a cask of good old beer, And a gallant horse to ride. A little while did Fortune smile On him and her and me: We sang along the road of life Like birds upon a tree. My lady fell to shame and hell, And with her took my friend; My cask ran sour, my horse went lame, So alone in the cold I end. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVELY CHANCE by SARA TEASDALE NUPTIAL SONG by JOHN BYRNE LEICESTER WARREN |
