Classic and Contemporary Poetry


IN THE YEARS THAT ARE TO COME by EFFIE WALLER SMITH

First Line: WHEN MY HAIR IS THIN AND GRAY
Last Line: LOVE ME TRULY AND SINCERE.
Subject(s): AGING; LOVE;

When my hair is thin and gray,
When there's wrinkles on my brow;
When my eyes are dim, and when
Feeble is my step and slow,
This one question I would ask,
This one question, sweetheart, dear,
Will you love me then as now,
Love me truly and sincere.
