The Poet: Robert Service, "Prelude"
*"Prelude"* "In youth I gnawed life's bitter rind And shared the rugged lot Of fellows rude and unrefined, Frustrated and forgot; And now alas! it is too late My sorry ways to mend, So sadly I accept my fate, A Roughneck to the end. Profanity is in my voice And slag is in my rhyme, For I have mucked with men who curse And grovel in the grime; My fingers were not formed, I fear, To frame a pretty pen, So please forgive me if I veer From Virtue now and then. For I would be the living voice, Though raucous is its tone, Of men who rarely may rejoice, Yet barely ever moan: The rovers of the ... read more
