Strange that I did not know him then.
        That friend of mine!
I did not even show him then
        One friendly sign;

But cursed him for the ways he had
        To make me see
My envy of the praise he had
        For praising me.

I would have rid the earth of him
        Once, in my pride…
I never knew the worth of him
        Until he died.

— Edwin Arlington Robinson
