Forgotten

I’d made my account so poor
When on my mind things that lure
Befall on a snare insure
Lest my soul can ask no more.

In the trench I am by now
My head may have its bow
Upon this things along the rows
To which my eyes- the tears I’ll show.

For all is fleeting – yes indeed
And friendship bond conforms to it
And things forgotten can’t be retrieved
But if it can- these things I never writ.
