First Line: Here by the borderland
Last Line: And heavy thoughts that tire.
Subject(s): Old Age; Solitude; Wales; Loneliness; Welshmen; Welshwomen


I

HERE by the borderland,
Here where his journey ends,
Who shall be with him now,
Whom can he call his friends?

II

Lone, on a lonely road,
Last in a weary race,
Nothing remains to him—
Not even his love's face.

III

He is forlorn, forlorn,
By the low, dying fire—
With memories that daze
And heavy thoughts that tire.
