Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCD EEEFAAAF GGGHIIIH

Well World you have kept faith with meA
Kept faith with meA
Upon the whole you have proved to beA
Much as you said you wereB
Since as a child I used to lieC
Upon the leaze and watch the skyC
Never I own expected IC
That life would all be fairD
-
'Twas then you said and since have saidE
Times since have saidE
In that mysterious voice you shedE
From clouds and hills aroundF
Many have loved me desperatelyA
Many with smooth serenityA
While some have shown contempt of meA
Till they dropped undergroundF
-
I do not promise overmuchG
Child overmuchG
Just neutral tinted haps and suchG
You said to minds like mineH
Wise warning for your credit's sakeI
Which I for one failed not to takeI
And hence could stem such strain and acheI
As each year might assignH
