第31章 XXIX - IN THE STATES

With half a heart I wander here As from an age gone by A brother - yet though young in years.

An elder brother, I.

You speak another tongue than mine, Though both were English born.

I towards the night of time decline, You mount into the morn.

Youth shall grow great and strong and free, But age must still decay:

To-morrow for the States - for me, England and Yesterday.
