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.'
