Sadness is an old man
His back is bent with worries aged
His wrinkles gouged with pain
I looked to morn's visage
And found this friend again
A child's eyes, worn down with care
And dusted ore with age
A sun-scorched arm, that used to end
In fingers used for flowers
now terminates, a ragged claw
the wretched friend of hours
A child's complexion, whithered away
And what is left you ask?
Just me with some old rattling bones
And my friend Emptiness
