Question

It cannot be,that Thou art gone! What makes the poet say so ? From the poem 'youth and age'​

Answer 1

Answer:

It cannot be that Thou art gone! In these lines, the poet says that when you are in your prime, everything looks lovely and you enjoy nature. ... So, the poet further consoles himself by saying that youth has not gone but its how we perceive this world. He refuses to accept the harsh reality of life that is old age.
