The Flight of Youth 青春的飞逝

There are gains for all our losses.



There are balms for all our pain;



But when youth,the dream,departs,



It takes something from our hearts,



And it never comes again.



We are stronger, and are better,



Under manhood’s sterner reign;



Still we feel that something sweet



Following youth, with flying feet,



And will never come again.



Something beautiful is vanished, And we sigh for it in vain;



We behold it everywhere,



On the earth, and in the air,



But it never comes again!
