GLAMOUR by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: O COME WHILE YOUTH'S BRIGHT ROSY VEIL
Last Line: FOR SOON, TOO SOON, WE SEE!
Subject(s): CARPE DIEM;

O come while youth's bright rosy veil
Beguiles your eyes and mine,
Let's tread the asphodel of bliss,
And drink life's magic wine:
Soon time will rend the gossamer,
To wisdom's cruelty,
While we are blind, my love, be kind,
For soon, too soon, we see!
