Subject(s): Love; Youth


Youth
Youth is young and Age is old!

Age
So we're told.

Youth
Youth is hot and Age is cold!

Age
Some so hold—
Like a dirge that's doled.

Youth
Life has truths that are manifold,
And one great truth I now unfold:

Joy and mirth have Youth enrolled;
Gloom and death do Age enfold!

Voice
Ye do but scold—
The heart that's young, to Love hath yold!

Only he is young whose love is bold;
Only he is old whose love doth mold.

To love to love, is finer than gold;
To love is to live! long be Love's wold.
