Nisu mogli da povjeruju kad su shvatili svoju gre\u0161ku.<\/p>\n
Jedna od sestara je odnijela svoju kopiju u Melburn, a odatle se pjesma pro\u0161irila kao \u0161umski po\u017ear po \u010ditavom svijetu \u2013 jednostavna, elokventna i nevjerovatno dirljiva.<\/p>\n

\nWhat are you thinking .. . when you\u2019re looking at me?
\nA cranky old man, . . . . . .not very wise,
\nUncertain of habit .. . . . . . . .. with faraway eyes?
\nWho dribbles his food .. . \u2026 . . and makes no reply.
\nWhen you say in a loud voice . .\u2019I do wish you\u2019d try!\u2019
\nWho seems not to notice . . .the things that you do.
\nAnd forever is losing . . . . . .. . . A sock or shoe?
\nWho, resisting or not . . . \u2026 lets you do as you will,
\nWith bathing and feeding . . . .The long day to fill?
\nIs that what you\u2019re thinking?. .Is that what you see?
\nThen open your eyes, nurse .you\u2019re not looking at me.
\nI\u2019ll tell you who I am . . . . .. As I sit here so still,
\nAs I do at your bidding, .. . . . as I eat at your will.
\nI\u2019m a small child of Ten . .with a father and mother,
\nBrothers and sisters .. . . .. . who love one another
\nA young boy of Sixteen . . . .. with wings on his feet
\nDreaming that soon now . . .. . . a lover he\u2019ll meet.
\nA groom soon at Twenty . . . ..my heart gives a leap.
\nRemembering, the vows .. .. .that I promised to keep.
\nAt Twenty-Five, now . . . . .I have young of my own.
\nWho need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home.
\nA man of Thirty . .. . . . . My young now grown fast,
\nBound to each other . . .. With ties that should last.
\nAt Forty, my young sons .. .have grown and are gone,
\nBut my woman is beside me . . to see I don\u2019t mourn.
\nAt Fifty, once more, .. \u2026Babies play \u2019round my knee,
\nAgain, we know children . . . . My loved one and me.
\nDark days are upon me . . . . My wife is now dead.
\nI look at the future \u2026 . . . . I shudder with dread.
\nFor my young are all rearing .. . . young of their own.
\nAnd I think of the years . . . And the love that I\u2019ve known.
\nI\u2019m now an old man . . . . . . .. and nature is cruel.
\nIt\u2019s jest to make old age . . . . . . . look like a fool.
\nThe body, it crumbles .. .. . grace and vigour, depart.
\nThere is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart.
\nBut inside this old carcass . A young man still dwells,
\nAnd now and again . . . . . my battered heart swells
\nI remember the joys . . . . .. . I remember the pain.
\nAnd I\u2019m loving and living . . . . . . . life over again.
\nI think of the years, all too few . . .. gone too fast.
\nAnd accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last.
\nSo open your eyes, people .. . . . .. . . open and see.
\nNot a cranky old man .
\nLook closer . . . . see .. .. . .. \u2026. . ME!!<\/p>\n
\n\u0160ta mislite\u2026 kad gledate u mene? D\u017eangrizavog starca\u2026 ne posebno mudrog,
\nNesigurnog iz navike\u2026 sa lutaju\u0107im pogledom?
\nKome hrana curi\u2026 a on ne odgovara,
\nKada glasno ka\u017eete\u2026 voljela bih da se potrudi\u0161!
\nKoji naizgled ne primje\u0107uje\u2026stvari koje \u010dini\u0161.
\nI koji uvijek gubi\u2026 cipelu ili \u010darapu?
\nKoji, opirao se ili ne\u2026 pu\u0161ta da radi\u0161 po volji,
\nSa kupanjem i hranjenjem\u2026 da ispuni\u0161 dugi dan?
\nDa li to misli\u0161?\u2026 Da li to vidi\u0161?
\nOnda otvori o\u010di sestro, jer ne gleda\u0161 u mene.
\nRe\u0107i \u0107u ti ko sam\u2026 dok sjedim ovdje tako mirno.
\nDok radim \u0161ta \u017eeli\u0161\u2026 dok jedem po tvojoj volji.
\nJa sam dijete od deset\u2026 sa ocem i majkom,
\nBra\u0107om i sestrama\u2026 koji vole jedni druge.
\nMladi\u0107 od \u0161esnaest\u2026 sa krilima pod petama
\nKoji sanja da \u0107e uskoro\u2026 ljubav da spozna.
\nMlado\u017eenja od skoro dvadeset\u2026 moje srce poskakuje.
\nSje\u0107am se zakletve\u2026 koju sam obe\u0107ao da \u0107u odr\u017eati.
\nSa dvadeset i pet, sad\u2026 imam djecu svoju.
\nKoja me trebaju da ih vodim\u2026 i sre\u0107an, topao dom obezbjedim.
\n\u010covjek od trideset\u2026 Moji mladi rastu brzo,
\nVezani jedni za druge\u2026 vezama koje \u0107e da traju.
\nSa \u010detrdeset moji mladi sinovi\u2026 su odrasli i oti\u0161li,
\nAli moja \u017eena pored mene je\u2026 da osigura da ne \u017ealim.
\nSa pedeset, ponovo\u2026 bebe se igraju oko mojih koljena,
\nPonovo znamo djecu\u2026 ja i moja voljena.
\nMra\u010dni dani su predamnom\u2026 moja \u017eena sad je mrtva.
\nGledam u budu\u0107nost\u2026 i tresem se u strahu,
\nPo\u0161to moji mladi sada\u2026 imaju mlade svoje.
\nI mislim o godinama\u2026 o ljubavi koju sam znao.
\nSad sam star \u010dovek\u2026 i priroda je okrutna.
\n\u0160ala je u\u010diniti starost\u2026 da izgleda budalasto.
\nTijelo, ono se raspada\u2026 snaga i gracioznost, napu\u0161taju me,
\nSamo kamen ostaje\u2026 tamo gdje je nekad srce bilo.
\nAli unutar ove stare le\u0161ine, mladi\u0107 i dalje boravi.
\nI sa vremena na vrijeme\u2026 moje ranjeno srce naraste,
\nI sje\u0107am se radosti\u2026i sje\u0107am se boli.
\nI volim i \u017eivim\u2026 \u017eivot ispo\u010detka.
\nMislim na godine, premali ih je broj\u2026 koje su pro\u0161le prebrzo.
\nI prihvatam prostu \u010dinjenicu\u2026 da ni\u0161ta ne mo\u017ee da traje.
\nZato otvorite o\u010di ljudi\u2026 otvorite i vidite.
\nNe d\u017eangrizavi starac.
\nPogledajte bli\u017ee\u2026 vidite\u2026 MENE!<\/p>\n
