The old chap In black hat, Flopping at the corners, Long cloak, Black, From shoulder to ground, Black stockings Hidden from sight Under flowing, swirling skirt, And tucked tight Inside Soft, knee high, Black, leather boots. In frail, Bony, Long fingered hands, Bible; Well thumbed, And with cracking spine, Lavender perfumed handkerchief Keeping page, Together with Drying, Dying, Rosy red, Red rosy rose.
