YOUTH
“We have found that the right was right, though our will denied it, We have seen that when Heaven was darkened, the soul grezv blind. We have seen that zvhen God’s light goes and His bond is broken, No word or bond upon earth can hold, or bind. We have stood, as you stand, on the quiet hill at sunrise, Longed, as you long, till the last light fails from the sea, That the youth of our world, still bound in that one remembrance, Might make the whole world one, in the years to be. « * & “Up, up, then, up to the heights, as the old sun rises; Front the new morning; breast the long upward slope; And, zvhen it grozvs dark —and memory draws still nearer, Look, once in her face. Its light is the light of hope.” —From ALFRED NOYES’S Coronation “Poem for Youth.”
