"When You Were One-and-Twenty" When you were one-and-twenty You 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 when you were one-and-twenty, My word are no use to thee When you were one-and-twenty You heard him say again "The heart out of the bosom Was never hiven in vain; Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue." And now you're two-and-twenty, And oh, you know it was true.
