Read the following poem and answer the question that follows. "when i was one-and-twenty," by a.e. housman when i was one-and-twenty i heard a wise man say, 'give crowns and pound 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 (bold) *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.* (end bold) in one paragraph of at least three to five sentences, analyze the tone and imagery used in the line in bold. identify the mood the author intended to create with this imagery, as well as the connotations used in the words "vain," "endless rue," and "oh." use proper spelling and grammar.

The lines speak out of the feeling of “regret.” It is a regret that comes only after the deed was over and done. The images of “much sighing, never-ending rue, and the realization that all that the persona did was in vain or worthless” reveal his true feelings. All these can be summarized in the familiar expressions: “if only I listened to advice” and “what has been done cannot be undone.” This was a sad realization that the advice of the wise man should have been heeded.

This poem uses the ABCBCDAD rhyme in the first stanza. Then, in the second stanza, the rhyme used is ABCBADAD. The meaning of this poem is about advice or advice to young men/women, who as usual are not obeyed. In the end, the young man experienced exactly what was suggested. Gradually as we get older, awareness begins to land. Although, everything was getting late. Hearts have been given, while the recipient may not be as expected.

Further Explanation

Poetry is written art. Poetry is someone's literary work in conveying messages through diction and written patterns. Poet is a person who makes or creates poetry. In this art form, a poet uses language to add aesthetic qualities to semantic meaning. The emphasis on the aesthetic aspect of a language and the deliberate use of repetition, meters, and rhymes is what distinguishes poetry from prose. Some modern experts have an approach by defining poetry not as a type of literature but as an expression of human imagination, which is the source of all creativity.
