Since Youth is All for Gladness.
Glenn Ward Dresbach, 1889-?.
Since Youth is all for gladness,
And dreams and rainbow-skies,
For rapture and moon-madness,
Why are Youth’s eyes so wise?
Since Youth is all for vaunting
Adventures, scorning fears—
Is there not something haunting
In Youth’s incongruous tears?
O Youth must bleed and measure
The days and span the sea—
But Age will keep for pleasure
What Youth thought misery.
