Vanity
Words hurl refrain
In nothing plain
A touch most vain
Sleeps in complaint
Vain is the way
Of death's dismay
Too soon retreat
Unclogs odd beat
If you must be
Be vain yet free
All else is lost
In dying cost
To have and hold
Best you be bold
Absurd am I
In snoring sighs
Not hot nor cold
But truly old
Time mellows well
The tales I tell
Yes I am vain
Simple yet plain
