AN ANNIVERSARY by FORD MADOX FORD

First Line: TWO DECADES AND A MINUTE
Last Line: TWO DECADES AND A MINUTE.
Subject(s): ANNIVERSARIES; TIME;

TWO decades and a minute,
And half a moon in the sky,
Like a broken willow pattern plate
And a jangling bell to din it,
Dingle—dong—twelve strokes—
Two decades and a minute.
