A poem I read and liked

ME
As long as I live
I shall always be

My Self - and no other,

Just me.

Like a tree.
Willow, elder,
Aspen, thorn,
or cypress forlorn.

Like a flower,

For its hour-

Primrose, or pink,

Or a violet -

sunned by the sun

And with dewdrops wet.

Always just me.

- Walter de la Mare
