AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY by ERNEST RHYS

First Line: WALES ENGLAND WED; SO I WAS BRED
Last Line: AM CONTENT TO HAVE FROM DEATH.
Subject(s): SELF;

WALES England wed; so I was bred.
'T was merry London gave me breath.
I dreamt of love, and fame: I strove.
But Ireland taught me love was best:
And Irish eyes, and London cries, and
streams of Wales, may tell the rest.
What more than these I asked of life, I
am content to have from Death.
