Let Me Die A Youngman's Death Comments

I will not take time to read this; the guy is likely dead already [but I may check with 'google']. 'Youngman' is a person's last name, but I DOUBT many use 'youngman' instead of 'young man'! : )

I just wondered about the underlying meaning of this poem.Does the poet feel that he would be as chivalrous as any young man at any age as his heart remains young for ever? He wants that his death will make news rather than being dead peacefully as an unknown person.

I liked this very much

Good poem.

At 72 this poem says a lot about age. I to do not want a great between the sheets. I perfer to go out like a loin, not a lamb. In my younger years I qS active, sought danger and action. Now at my age I can no longer act like that, the mind wants to, the body says no.

Many of us will get to a point where we will embrace death and it's release from life's pains. But who being young and strong of body, being alert in mind, being a young man/woman feeling life is yours for the taken, would embrace death. Death is for the old as nature decrees.

If we live long enough we get to a point where we are happy for death's embrace.

I am 9 years old, and I came across this poem because of a homework assigned by my teacher, I love this poem! ! ! ! ! ! !
