Book Description
Excerpt from The Romance of Youth and Other Poems He whom the gods love dearly dies in youth So sang the poet in the pagan past 80, in a sort, dies every boy in sooth Romantic, ardent, joyous to the last, He runs to welcome Death, Who holds him fast And even as we gaze the Boy is gone, The virile toga round his form is cast, And not unclothed by Death but clothed upon Into a larger life he swiftly passes on.
