Girl's Song

I went out alone
To sing a song or two,
My fancy on a man,
And you know who.

Another came in sight
That on a stick relied
To hold himself upright;
I sat and cried.

And that was all my song -
When everything is told,
Saw I an old man young
Or young man old?

    Something Special

    The poem has a very emotional twist but the last two line have a philosophical touch.
    "Saw I an old man young
    Or young man old?"
    After reading the poem so many times one can understand what the poet or the poetic character, the young girl wanted to say.
