the numbers are lord randal's age. the poem is about his life. then he gets sick so he's being asked what he will leave everyone up until the point he dies at age 40.

You read this so well, it's become one of my most favourite poems... I had never even heard it before this! :o)

@sweetsingeruk , Thats nice, thank you :-)

AWESOME!! Thank you so much!! To the other comments, Lord Randal is a very old poem...some people say it's English, some say Scottish, others say it's Welsh or Irish....on the numbers, I'm afraid I must have pasted it incorrectly and it transferred the lines of the poem....but no matter, Whispering Voice still read it beautifully!!

@cde1968 , It was a shame I read the numbers (not your fault) but I enjoyed reading it. :-)

@FallOutBoyPPJA , Thanks for letting me know, I have never seen them on the end of verses like that! LoL :-)

From what we studied in literature, I would've thought the numbers (being in intervals of five) would be line numbers.

@Robstailey , the poems were sent to me, but they must be in a book somehwere I would imagine! :-)

Are these poems coming out of a textbook? The last three you've done were all in my last Lit. class lol
