YOUTH AND LOVE by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON

Poet Analysis

First Line: YOUNG, LOVING, AND BELOVED - THESE ARE BRIEF WORDS
Last Line: STILL IT IS MUCH TO THINK THAT IT HAS BEEN.
Subject(s): LOVE; YOUTH;
YOUNG, loving, and beloved -- these are brief words;
And yet they touch on all the finer chords,
Whose music is our happiness; the tone
May die away, and be no longer known,
In the sad changes brought by darker years,
When the heart has to treasure up its tears,
And life looks mournful on an altered scene --
Still it is much to think that it has been.
