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. 11. A few of us who faltered as we fared
2. Sonnets. 7. When I see two delay their wings at heaven
3. Vagrant Songs
4. Wild Hyacinth
5. Sonnets. 9. Love Needs not Two the Render It Complete
