Youth,
There is God's gift of youth,
pressible, beautiful, glorious, divine, It
is for youth that the rest of us live;
it Is for them that we labor, suffer,
and endure; it is for them that we
flout the {lls of life; it Is for them
that we are blind to death, Youth,
wonderful youth,.—so great a gift to
possess, so infiditely greater a gift to
perceive in boys and girls about you!
