Other lads, their ways are daring: Other lads, they're not afraid; Other lads, they show they're caring; Other lads -- they know a maid. Wiser Jock than ever you were, Will's with gayer spirit blest, Robin's kindlier and truer, -- Why should I love you the best? Other lads, their eyes are bolder. Young they are, and strong and slim, Ned is straight and broad of shoulder, Donald has a way with him. David stands a head above you, Dick's as brave as Lancelot, -- Why, ah why, then, should I love you? Naturally, I do not. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LETTER TO MAXINE SULLIVAN by HAYDEN CARRUTH SONG: SO OFTEN, SO LONG I HAVE THOUGHT by HAYDEN CARRUTH HEGIRA by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO BEACHEY, 1912 by CARL SANDBURG DEXTER GORDON: COPENHAGEN/AVERY FISHER HALL by KAREN SWENSON |
