英语杂谈：54 The Flight of Youth
英语课
There are gains for all our losses.
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth,the dream,departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhood’s sterner reign 1;
Still we feel that something sweet
Following youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished, And we sigh for it in vain;
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again!
