Birthday
should be spent alone -
it's better far to celebrate,
to feast till dawn,
to dance and raise
a glass with friends,
sing songs of old,
beside the curving sea-shore,
where a green oak bears
a chain of gold…
When spirits become mellow
and the lamps burn low,
to have the cat beneath that oak
recite his poems…
