Love's Argument and Other Poems (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Love's Argument and Other Poems Love's Argument As it fell on a day That a traveller grey Was trudging along life's road, Who should chance to come by And his plight to espy But Love 'neath his archer's load? Whilst the wanderer gazed At the vision, amazed And doubtful if it were true; 'You are weary and sad,' Quoth the radiant lad; 'Pray what can I do for you?' 'You go on your way,' Sighed the traveller grey; 'For oft have I heard it told (And with singular truth) That love sojourns with youth, And cannot abide the old.' With a mischievous smile That was brimful of guile, 'That saying,' quoth Love, 'is true: Your adorable She, Whosoever she be, Will always seem young to you.'
