Beneath the naples TALL
You then were nine and was ten.
And oft I'd say I'm fun,
"Just think, Jane, you'll be twent
when
/ come to twenty-one!"
But when / came to twenty-one,
A gawky youth and green,
/ wondered how the trick was done,
. For you were just eighteen!
Then Turing fortune beckoned me
The world / wandered DER.
/ got back home at thirty-three
And found you twenty-four!
And now I'm getting old indeed.
These gray hairs make that plain.
My flower of youth has gone to seed.
Pray, what's the secret, Jane?
