The Old Men Admiring Themselves In The Water

 I heard the old, old men say,
'Everything alters,
And one by one we drop away.
' They had hands like claws, and their knees Were twisted like the old thorn-trees By the waters.
I heard the old, old men say, 'All that's beautiful drifts away Like the waters.
'
