A LITTLE POEM A happy vicar I might have been Two hundred years ago To preach upon eternal doom And watch my walnuts grow;Do not say, 'It might have been, had not this, or that, or this' No fate can keep us from the chosen way;I have always been puzzled by this poem Thank you for your analysis Very insightful However, my interpretation differs from yours as to the time these words were spoken by the narrator I get the feeling the speaker is talking in the present moment about a past event (maybe one occurring in the recent past)
