YOUTH IN ARMS, by ERON O. ROWLAND First Line: O youth who erstwhile stood before thy elders Last Line: Armed cap a pie? Subject(s): World War I; Youth; First World War | ||||||||
O Youth who erstwhile stood before thy elders In particolored garments, gay and bright, Loose reined in dalliance and singing For sheer delight; What dear Alcestis wakes thy spirit's ardor, That thou, like some new Hercules, should'st be In Yorkshire, Rome, Columbia, Picardy, Armed cap a pie? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...D'ANNUNZIO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY 1915: THE TRENCHES by CONRAD AIKEN TO OUR PRESIDENT by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES CHILDREN OF THE WAR by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE U-BOAT CREWS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE RED CROSS NURSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES WAR PROFITS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE UNCHANGEABLE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE CREATION by CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER |
