Old, Withered And Alone

I must go now,
For I am old
All alone now
And ever before.
I have seen new,
I have seen old
Every morning dew,
Every afternoon cold.
No-one to laugh with
No-one to cry
Each of these pleasures
With no-one by my side.
And alone I shall stay for all eternity,
For this relentless world
Has no mercy
