A Shropshire Lad
by A. E. Housman (excerpt)
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say.
"Give crowns and pounds 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.
Ahow one should spend money
Bhow one should accumulate wealth
Chow one should attain wisdom
Dhow one should invest in love
The central theme of the poem is
In the end, the poet
the wise man's views.
