Longing Across Age Gap in Youthful Love
A grandfather laments the gap between his sixty eight years and a much younger beloved described as three, unable to claim her hand or dance or ride in the Park. He accepts the irreconcilable age difference and laments being left for a beardless boy. The poem from Youth's Companion reflects wistful, pastoral romance and social bounds.
