Twenty years hence my eyes may grow <br />If not quite dim, yet rather so, <br />Still yours from others they shall know <br />Twenty years hence. <br /> <br />Twenty years hence though it may hap <br />That I be called to take a nap <br />In a cool cell where thunderclap <br />Was never heard, <br /> <br />There breathe but o'er my arch of grass <br />A not too sadly sighed Alas, <br />And I shall catch, ere you can pass, <br />That winged word.<br /><br />Walter Savage Landor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/twenty-years-hence/
