I'm 82, you know.
I'm going out to the street now – people are making snowmen there, I'll be moving the carrots around.
Or maybe I'll just eat them.
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
