| oh the rain the weary rain |
| stutters on my window-sill |
| night I guess is on the wane |
| all around has grown so still |
| here I sit with coffee cup |
| ah 't was rare l watched it flow |
| in the tavern where I’d sup |
| twenty golden years ago |
| twenty years ago alas |
| but stay, 't is half past twelve o’clock |
| oh how the hours do slip away |
| and how the weary minutes mock |
| for night and morn are wet and cold |
| and my fire is dwindling low |
| yet I had fire enough |
| twenty golden years ago |
| in my wish to show them plain |
| did I paint them honestly |
| wifeless friendless halt and lame |
| were they but as pawns to me |
| I who never reasoned why |
| blind unjust and harsh I know |
| yet I did live I was alive |
| twenty golden years ago |
| tick and lock no sound but time’s |
| and the howling winding rain |
| tattoo’d through my withered rhyme |
| time, and time again |
| of all my hopes, ambitions, schemes |
| these pages all that’s left to show |
| gone are all my lofty dreams |
| of twenty golden years ago |
