An Old Story

Title:     An Old Story
Author: Edwin Arlington Robinson [More Titles by Robinson]

Strange that I did not know him then,
That friend of mine!
I did not even show him then
One friendly sign;

But cursed him for the ways he had
To make me see
My envy of the praise he had
For praising me.

I would have rid the earth of him
Once, in my pride! . . .
I never knew the worth of him
Until he died.

[The end]
Edwin Arlington Robinson's poem: Old Story
