Alan Seeger - Virginibus Puerisque . . .Alan Seeger - Virginibus Puerisque . . .
Work rating: Low


I care not that one listen if he lives For aught but life`s romance, nor puts above All life`s necessities the need to love, Nor counts his greatest wealth what Beauty gives. But sometime on an afternoon in spring, When dandelions dot the fields with gold, And under rustling shade a few weeks old `Tis sweet to stroll and hear the bluebirds sing, Do you, blond head, whom beauty and the power Of being young and winsome have prepared For life`s last privilege that really pays, Make the companion of an idle hour These relics of the time when I too fared Across the sweet fifth lustrum of my days.
