Poem by Eleanor Farjeon

When You Say

When you say, I still am young,
You are young no more;
When, I’m old, is on your tongue,
Age is still in store.

Youth and age will never grope
To say what they may be:
One only knows it has a hope,
And one a certainty.

1. Sonnets. 12. I hear love answer: Since within the mesh
2. Sonnets. 17. My Little Dream, My Momentary Dream
3. Sonnets. 9. Love Needs not Two the Render It Complete
4. Sonnets. 6. Certain among Us Walk in Loneliness
5. Three Miles to Penn
