First Line: O youth who erstwhile stood before thy elders
Last Line: Armed cap a pie?
Subject(s): World War I; Youth; First World War
O Youth who erstwhile stood before thy elders
In particolored garments, gay and bright,
Loose reined in dalliance and singing
For sheer delight;
What dear Alcestis wakes thy spirit's ardor,
That thou, like some new Hercules, should'st be
In Yorkshire, Rome, Columbia, Picardy,
Armed cap a pie?
