Gyles' poem this week was When I Have Fears’ by Noel Coward

 

When I have fears, as Keats had fears,

Of the moment I’ll cease to be

I console myself with vanished years

Remembered laughter, remembered tears,

And the peace of the changing sea.

When I feel sad, as Keats felt sad,

That my life is so nearly done

It gives me comfort to dwell upon

Remembered friends who are dead and gone

And the jokes we had and the fun.

How happy they are I cannot know

But happy am I who loved them so.

 

A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.
