"when i was one-and-twenty," by a. e. housman
when i was one-and-twenty

'give crowns and pound 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.
when i was one-and-twenty
i heard him say again,
'the heart out of the bosom
was never given in vain;
'tis paid with sighs a plenty
and sold for endless rue.'
and i am two-and-twenty,
and oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

happiness and true love
confusion and fear
