| Worm-Proof written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Song of Life", 1920 |
'Have I not bored your teeth,' said Time,
'Until they drop out, one by one?
I'll turn your black hairs into white,
And pluck them when the change is done;
The clothes you've put away with care,
My worm's already in their seams - '
'Time, hold your tongue, for man can still
Defy you with his worm-proof dreams.'
