I Wandered Lonely As My Life
I wandered lonely as my life
Conspired with my coming death
Wrapped in the cone of joy and strife
I cherished every passing breath.
Touched the hem of nature’s beauty
Did what I could because I can.
Marched to cadence, did my duty
Life altering my every plan.
Shed the tears of joys and sorrows
Watched as life’s moments passed away
Lived through all today’s tomorrows
Yet somehow let them slip away.
Though it conspires with my death
My life will cherish every breath.
