YOUTH, by                    
First Line: Youth is a fragile sweet blossom
Last Line: Shall bloom on eternity's shore.
Subject(s): Youth


Youth is a fragile sweet blossom
That fades in the noon's burning ray,
Exchanging its delicate petals
For fruit at the close of the day.

So with the fruit rich in wisdom,
And mellowed by patience with pain,
The fragile sweet blossom of morning
Shall know all its beauty again.

Then when the long night has fallen,
The fruit being garnered in store,
The fragile sweet blossom of morning
Shall bloom on Eternity's shore.
