IT NEVER COMES AGAIN.
There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pains;
But when youth, the dream, departs
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger and are better
Under manhood's sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But it never comes again.
