TO MY NINETH DECADE by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: TO MY NINTH DECADE I HAVE TOTTER'D ON
Last Line: SO WHEN HE CALLS ME, DEATH SHALL FIND ME READY.
Subject(s): OLD AGE;
To my ninth decade I have totter'd on,
And no soft arm bends now my steps to steady;
She, who once led me where she would, is gone,
So when he calls me, Death shall find me ready.
