Young and Old~Charles Kingsley by Emo_CutE_GiRl_ 2013/11/10 16:40
When all the world is young
lad,
And all the trees are green;
And every goose a swan,
lad,
And every lass a queen;
Then hey for boot and horse,
lad,
And round the world away;
Young blood must have its
course, lad,
And every dog his day.
When all the world is old,
lad,
And all the trees are brown;
When all the sport is stale,
lad,
And all the wheels run down;
Creep home, and take your
place there,
The spent and maimed
among:
God grant you find one face
there,
You loved when all was
young
When all the world is young
lad,
And all the trees are green;
And every goose a swan,
lad,
And every lass a queen;
Then hey for boot and horse,
lad,
And round the world away;
Young blood must have its
course, lad,
And every dog his day.
When all the world is old,
lad,
And all the trees are brown;
When all the sport is stale,
lad,
And all the wheels run down;
Creep home, and take your
place there,
The spent and maimed
among:
God grant you find one face
there,
You loved when all was
young
