Dusk falls upon the bracken, bents and whins;

The careful green-keeper removes the pins,

To-morrow being Sunday, and the sward

Is freed from gutty and from rubber-cored.

Homeward unchecked by cries of "Fore!" I stroll,

Revolving many problems in my soul,

And marvelling at the mania which bids

Sexagenarians caracole like kids;

Which causes grave and reverend signiors
