Poem by Aubrey De Vere — Odds and Ends


Our lives are full of odds and ends;
First one and then another ----
And though we know not how or when,
They’re deftly wove together.

The weaver has a master’s skill,
And proves it by this token, ---
No loop is dropped, no strand is missed,
And not a thread is broken.

Not e’en a shred is thrown aside,
So careful is the weaver,
Who joining all with wondrous skill,
 Weaves odds and ends together.
