Down the green slope he bounded Raven curls	A
From his white shoulders by the winds were swept	B
And the clear color of his sunny cheek	C
Was bright with motion Through his open lips	D
Shone visibly a delicate line of pearl	E
Like a white vein within a rosy shell	F
And his dark eye's clear brilliance as it lay	G
Beneath his lashes like a drop of dew	H
Hid in the moss stole out as covertly	I
As starlight from the edging of a cloud	J
I never saw a boy so beautiful	K
His step was like the stooping of a bird	L
And his limbs melted into grace like things	M
Shaped by the wind of summer He was like	N
A painter's fine conception such an one	O
As he would have of Ganymede and weep	P
Upon his pallet that he could not win	Q
The vision to his easel Who could paint	R
The young and shadowless spirit Who could chain	S
The visible gladness of a heart that lives	T
Like a glad fountain in the eye of light	U
With an unbreathing pencil Nature's gift	V
Has nothing that is like it Sun and stream	W
And the new leaves of June and the young lark	X
That flees away into the depths of heaven	O
Lost in his own wild music and the breath	Y
Of springtime and the summer eve and noon	Z
In the cool autumn are like fingers swept	B
Over sweet toned affections but the joy	A2
That enters to the spirit of a child	B2
Is deep as his young heart his very breath	Y
The simple sense of being is enough	C2
To ravish him and like a thrilling touch	D2
He feels each moment of his life go by	E2
	-
Beautiful beautiful childhood with a joy	A2
That like a robe is palpable and flung	F2
Out by your every motion delicate bud	G2
Of the immortal flower that will unfold	H2
And come to its maturity in heaven	O
I weep your earthly glory 'Tis a light	U
Lent to the new born spirit that goes out	I2
With the first idle wind It is the leaf	J2
Fresh flung upon the river that will dance	K2
Upon the wave that stealeth out its life	L2
Then sink of its own heaviness The face	M2
Of the delightful earth will to your eye	E2
Grow dim the fragrance of the many flowers	N2
Be noticed not and the beguiling voice	O2
Of nature in her gentleness will be	I
To manhood's senseless ear inaudible	K
I sigh to look upon thy face young boy	A2
