YOUTH AND AGE.
When all the world is young, lad, Aud all the trees are green ; And every goose a swan, lad, And every lass a queen ; Then hey for boot and hor.se ! lad, And around 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 ; And all the sports are stale, lad, And all the wheels run down ; Creep home, and take your place there. The spent and niaimcl among : God grant you find one face there Yuu loved when all was young.
