Now, of my threescore years and ten,  
  Twenty will not come again,  
  And take from seventy springs a score,  
  It only leaves me fifty more.  
   
  And since to look at things in bloom  
  Fifty springs are little room,  
  About the woodlands I will go  
  To see the cherry hung with snow.
No. 2, st. 2-3. - A Shropshire Lad (1896)
