Author Thomas Hardy As for my life, I've led itWith fair content and credit:It said: ‘Take this.’ I took it.Said: ‘Leave.’ And I forsook it.If I had done without itNone would have cared about it,Or said: ‘One has refused itWho might have meetly used it.’ Tags Short Poems Rate this poem Select ratingGive it 1/5Give it 2/5Give it 3/5Give it 4/5Give it 5/5 Average: 1 (1 vote) Rate Log in or register to post comments
