Youth And Love - II

Title:     Youth And Love - II
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson [More Titles by Stevenson]

To the heart of youth the world is a highwayside.
Passing for ever, he fares; and on either hand,
Deep in the gardens golden pavilions hide,
Nestle in orchard bloom, and far on the level land
Call him with lighted lamp in the eventide.

Thick as the stars at night when the moon is down,
Pleasures assail him. He to his nobler fate
Fares; and but waves a hand as he passes on,
Cries but a wayside word to her at the garden gate,
Sings but a boyish stave and his face is gone.

[The end]
Robert Louis Stevenson's poem: Youth And Love - II
