A High School
Teacher’s Final List
List #3: (c) indefatigable, (d) betimes
In my youth I was so indefatigable—
I could climb a cold mountain—could wrestle a bull.
And betimes I’d be up—I’d be doing some work—
Oh, my energy then! Such a busy young turk.
But the years rolled along—I looked up: I was old.
No more bulls could I wrestle, climb mountains so cold.
Sure, I know that this is just the living-thing way:
For your life seems so fast—just a swift single day.
