Know'st Thou What Gray Methuselah Poem by Konstantin Nikolaevich Batiushkov

Know'st Thou What Gray Methuselah

Rating: 2.5


Know'st thou what gray Methuselah
Pronounced when parting with this life?
Man's born a slave,
He dies a slave,
And death will never tell him why
He walked this lovely vale of tears,
Suffered, wept, endured, and disappeared.

A poem which the the older, meditative person can fully relate to.I especially like his 2nd last line about the lovely vale of tears. Deep!
