The old neighbour and the new Annotated

’Twas to greet the new rector I called I here,
&nbsp But in the arm-chair I see
My old friend, for long years installed here,
&nbsp Who palely nods to me.

The new man explains what he’s planning
&nbsp In a smart and cheerful tone,
And I listen, the while that I’m scanning
&nbsp The figure behind his own.

The newcomer urges things on me;
&nbsp I return a vague smile thereto,
The olden face gazing upon me
&nbsp Just as it used to do!

And on leaving I scarcely remember
&nbsp Which neighbour to-day I have seen,
The one carried out in September,
&nbsp Or him who but entered yestreen.
