YOUTH, by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The days of our youth are not over while sadness Last Line: Believe me, the days of our youth are not over. Subject(s): Youth | ||||||||
THE days of our youth are not over while sadness Chills never, and seldom o'ershadows, the heart; While Friendship is crowning the banquet of Gladness And bids us be seated and offers us part; While the swift-spoken when? and the slowly-breathed hush! Make us half-love the maiden and half-hate the lover, And feel too what is or what should be a blush ... Believe me, the days of our youth are not over. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETWEEN THE WARS by ROBERT HASS THE GOLDEN SHOVEL by TERRANCE HAYES ALONG WITH YOUTH by ERNEST HEMINGWAY THE BLACK RIVIERA by MARK JARMAN A FIESOLAN IDYL by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR |
