It means, basically, that life is short and you will soon
die so have fun and enjoy your life while you can.
In this
poem, Housman is talking about how it seems like life is really short. The speaker is
saying this even though he is only 20 years old (that seems young to me now). The
speaker is basically saying "I'm 20 and that means I have
only 50 years left to enjoy my life." The speaker says
"since that's all I have left, I'm going to go out and look at the beautiful trees." In
other words, since my life is going to be over before I know it, I want to make sure I
have lived it to the fullest.
