LIFE, FR. THE ABBOT, by WALTER SCOTT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Youth! Thou wear'st to manhood now Last Line: But as senseless, false and hollow. Subject(s): Growth; Life | ||||||||
Youth! thou wear'st to manhood now Darker lip and darker brow, Statelier step, and more pensive mien, In thy face and gait are seen: Thou must now brook midnight watches, Take thy food and sport by snatches! For the gambol and the jest, Thou wert wont to love the best, Graver follies must thou follow, But as senseless, false and hollow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW THE WORLD IS SO DIFFICULT TO GIVE UP by DAVID IGNATOW BORDER BALLAD [OR MARCH, OR SONG], FR.
