Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from When Youth Met Life Go, little book, full long thou hast refused To venture forth on wavering, untried wing; But take thy hazard, calmly unafraid, Nor longer yield to dilatory mood. Why should a birdling fully fledged remain Inert and wind-tossed in a last year´s nest? Better to fly and fall, confessing thus Thy strength and weakness freely to the world. So I, the author of thy being, tilt The bough whereon thou slumberest, send thee forth To fate´s adventure, hid thee sing thy song, Whether or no it find a listening ear. I praise thee not nor censure. If thou fail To meet to-day´s ideals, these no less May be outworn as ever-changing time Shall lift aloft new standards to the world. At least with stern respect I hereby greet Within this verse the spirit of my youth; The soul I am to-day with reverence bows Unto the soul sincere I sometime was. Then go, my booklet. Go and utter forth The thoughts that breathe in thee. If some shall care To listen it is well. If not, he meek; Accept the issue. Go and tell thy tale.
