I've thirty months, and that's my pride,
Before my age's a double score,
Though many lively men have died
At twenty-nine or little more.
I've left a long and famous set
Behind some seven years or three,
But there are millions I'd forget
Will have their laugh at passing me.
I am busy working to bring J.M. Synge's "I've thirty months" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about J.M. Synge's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "I've thirty months" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
