Classic Poem

I was, I am not; smiled, that since did weep;
Laboured, that rest; I walked, that no must sleep;
I played, I play not; sung, that now am still;
Saw, that am blind; I would, that have no will;
I fed that which feeds worms; I stood, I fell;
I bade God save you, that now bid farewell;
I felt, I feel not; followed, was pursued;
I warred, have peace; I conquered, am subdued;
I moved, want motion; I was stiff, that bow
Below the earth; then something, nothing now;
I catched, am caught; I travelled, here I lie;
Lived in the world, that to the world now die.
