Thread Name: Poems about Growing Old (and songs)
Subject: RE: Poems about Growing Old
There is also good old Prufrock:

I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.        

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?        
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.        
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.        

I do not think that they will sing to me.
