YOUTH AND LIFE,
What would the world be If by chance
Youth held it futile to advance,
Futile to dream of loftier days
Than those it sees, of sweeter Ways
Beyond its common paths, of flights
Bevond the measure of its nights?
Ah, then the heart of youth would beat |
With little of its passionate heat,
And hope would move in weary wise,
With listless soul and unlit eyes.
But youth is mighty with desire,
Untiring in its faith and fire,
And enters where the seasoned
Falters and darkly looks behind;
Where tottering age bends low and
WeeDs,
Finding no profit where it reaps,
If youth were not as youth must be
Strong with the strength of earth and
sea,
Strong with the glory of the stars,
Deflant of any will that bars
The long road winding to its goal—
