THE POSTS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: A YEAR'S A POST, ON WHICH
Last Line: ALAS!
Subject(s): TIME;
A year's a post, on which
It saith
The distance -- growing less --
To Death.

Some posts I missed, beguiled
By Song
And Beauty, as I passed
Along.

But sad am I to think
This day
Of forty posts passed on
My way.

For not one post I now
Must pass
Will 'scape these eyes of mine,
Alas!
