Oh! To be Young!

Steps of Wisdom - Schnitkunst by Nigel A.  JAMES

.

From The Shropshire Lad

A poetical work by Alfred Edward Houseman

When I was one-and-twenty

I heard a wise man say,

“Give crowns and pounds and guineas

But not your heart away;

Give pearls away and rubies

But keep your fancy free.”

But I was one-and-twenty

No use to talk to me.
