Melancholy Poetry Loses to Nonsense
Young people enjoy sadness.
A KU professor of English ventures that this is why college students like the poetry of A. E. Housman.
"It is a good feeling to be melancholy, and there is a wistfulness in Houseman's poetry which reflects sadness and bitterness," said A. C. Edwards, associate professor of English, at the Poetry Hour yesterday.
Prof. Edwards read some of the bitter poetry of Housman, but the students seemed to prefer his non-sensical verse.
This one could apply to the ever-questioning minds of students:
"Oh is it the jar of nations,
The noise of a world run mad,
The fleeing of earth's foundations?"
Yes, yes; lie quiet, my lad. "Oh is it my country calling And whom will my country find
To shore up the sky from falling?
My business; never you mind.
"Oh is it the newsboys crying
Lost battle, retreat, despair.
And honour and England dying"
Was fighting-eck, what if it
"The devil this side of the darnels Is having a dance with man, And our wormy shape in channel
And quarresome chaps in charms Must bear it as they can."
The students responded to the sad poetry with serious expressions and thoughtfulness, but they seemed to prefer Housman's light-hearted verse, such as this:
"Oh see how thick the goldcup flowers
Are lying in held and lane. With dandelions to tell the hours
"Ah, spring was sent for lass and lad,
Oh may I squire you round the meads
- Twill do no harm to take my arm.
"You may, young man, you may.
Tis now the blood runs gold,
And man and maid had best be glad
What flowers to-day may flower to-morrow,
- Suppose I wound my arm right round—
'Tis true, young man, 'tis true.
Some lads there are, 'tis shame to say,
That only court to thieve,
And once they bear the bloom away "Tis little enough they leave. Then keep your heart for men like
me
And safe from trustless chaps.
My love is true and all for you.
'Perhaps, young man, perhaps.'
"Oh, look in my eyes then, can you doubt?"
—Why, 'tis a mile from town.
How green the grass is all about!
We might as well sit down
-Ah, life, what is it but a flower?
Why must true lovers sigh?
Be kind, have pity, my own, my pretty.—
Good-bye,young man good-bye.'"
