by William Henry Davies (1871 - 1940)

April's lambs
Language: English 
Though I was born in April's prime,
    With many another lamb,
Yet, thinking now of all my years,
    What am I but a tough old ram?

"No woman thinks of years," said she,
    "Or any tough old rams,
When she can hear a voice that bleats
    As tenderly as any lamb's."
