The Old Guitarist, by Pablo Picasso
William Ernest Henley
We shall surely die:
Must we needs grow old?
Grow old and cold,
And we know not why?
 
O, the By-and-By,
And the tale that’s told!
We shall surely die:
Must we needs grow old?
 
Grow old and sigh,
Grudge and withhold,
Resent and scold?…
Not you and I?
We shall surely die!
