When life begins anew	A
And Youth from gathering flowers	B
From vague delights rapt musings twilight hours	B
Turns restless seeking some great deed to do	A
To sum his fostered dreams when that fresh birth	C
Unveils the real the thronged and spacious Earth	C
And he awakes to those more ample skies	D
By other aims and by new powers possessed	E
How deeply then his breast	E
Is filled with pangs of longing how his eyes	D
Drink in the enchanted prospect Fair it lies	D
Before him with its plains expanding vast	F
Peopled with visions and enriched with dreams	G
Dim cities ancient forests winding streams	G
Places resounding in the famous past	F
A kingdom ready to his hand	H
How like a bride Life seems to stand	H
In welcome and with festal robes arrayed	I
He feels her loveliness pervade	I
And pierce him with inexplicable sweetness	J
And in her smiles delighting and the fires	B
Of his own pulses passionate soul	K
Measure his strength by his desires	B
And the wide future by their fleetness	B
As his thought leaps to the long distant goal	K
	-
So eagerly across that unknown span	L
Of years he gazes what to him	M
Are bounds and barriers tales of Destiny	N
Death and the fabled impotence of man	L
Already in his marching dream	O
Men at his sun like coming seem	O
As with an inspiration stirred and he	N
To kindle with new thoughts degenerate nations	B
In sordid cares immersed so long	P
Thrilled with ethereal exultations	B
And a victorious expectancy	B
Even such as swelled the breasts of Bacchus' throng	P
When that triumphal burst of joy was hurled	Q
Upon the wondering world	Q
When from the storied sacred East afar	R
Down Indian gorges clothed in green	S
With flower reined tigers and with ivory car	R
He came the youthful god	T
Beautiful Bacchus ivy crowned his hair	U
Blown on the wind and flushed limbs bare	U
And lips apart and radiant eyes	B
And ears that caught the coming melodies	B
As wave on wave of revellers swept abroad	V
Wreathed with vine leaves shouting trampling onwards	B
With tossed timbrel and gay tambourine	S
	-
Alas the disenchanting years have rolled	W
On hearts and minds becoming cold	W
Mirth is gone from us and the world is old	W
O bright new comer filled with thoughts of joy	X
Joy to be thine amid these pleasant plains	B
Know'st thou not child what surely coming pains	B
Await thee for that eager heart's annoy	X
Misunderstanding disappointment tears	B
Wronged love spoiled hope mistrust and ageing fears	B
Eternal longing for one perfect friend	Y
And unavailing wishes without end	Y
Thou proud and pure of spirit how must thou bear	U
To have thine infinite hates and loves confined	Z
Schooled and despised How keep unquenched and free	B
Mid others' commerce and economy	B
Such ample visions oft in alien air	U
Tamed to the measure of the common kind	Z
How hard for thee swept on for ever hurled	Q
From hour to hour bewildered and forlorn	A2
To move with clear eyes and with steps secure	B2
To keep the light within fitly to scorn	A2
These all too possible and easy goals	B
Trivial ambitions of soon sated souls	B
And patient in thy purpose to endure	B2
The pity and the wisdom of the world	Q
	-
Vain vain such warning to those happy ears	B
Disturb not their delight By unkind powers	B
Doomed to keep pace with the relentless Hours	B
He too ere long shall feel Earth's glory change	C2
Familiar names shall take an accent strange	C2
A deeper meaning a more human tone	D2
No more passed by unheeded or unknown	D2
The things that then shall be beheld through tears	B
	-
Yet O just Nature thou	E2
Who if men's hearts be hard art always mild	F2
O fields and streams and places undefiled	F2
Let your sweet airs be ever on his brow	E2
Remember still your child	F2
Thou too O human world if old desires	B
If thoughts not alien once can move thee now	E2
Teach him not yet that idly he aspires	B
Where thou hast failed not soon let it be plain	G2
That all who seek in thee for nobler fires	B
For generous passion spend their hopes in vain	G2
Lest that insidious Fate foe of mankind	F2
Who ever waits upon our weakness try	H2
With whispers his unnerved and faltering mind	F2
Palsy his powers for she has spells to dry	H2
Like the March blast his blood turn flesh to stone	D2
And conjuring action with necessity	F2
Freeze the quick will and make him all her own	D2
	-
Come then as ever like the Wind at morning	I2
Joyous O Youth in the aged world renew	A
Freshness to feel the eternities around it	F2
Rain stars and clouds light and the sacred dew	A
The strong sun shines above thee	F2
That strength that radiance bring	I2
If Winter come to Winter	J2
When shall men hope for Spring	I2
