Francis Ledwidge - Old Clo`Francis Ledwidge - Old Clo`
Work rating: Low


I was just coming in from the garden, Or about to go fishing for eels, And, smiling, I asked you to pardon My boots very low at the heels. And I thought that you never would go, As you stood in the doorway ajar, For my heart would keep saying, "Old Clo`, You`re found out at last as you are." I was almost ashamed to acknowledge That I was the quarry you sought, For was I not bred in a college And reared in a mansion, you thought. And now in the latest style cut With fortune more kinder I go To welcome you half-ways. Ah ( but I was nearer the gods when " Old Clo`."
