Classic and Contemporary Poetry


TO AN OLD WASSAIL-CUP by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WHERE YOUTH AND LAUGHTER LINGERED LONG
Last Line: LIFE'S EMPTINESS!
Subject(s): AGING;

WHERE Youth and Laughter lingered long
To quaff delight, with wanton song
And warm caress,
Now Time and Silence strive amain
With lips unsatisfied, to drain
Life's emptiness!
