The Flight of Youth

Richard Henry Stoddard

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

Followed 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!

Youth Flies

Richard Henry Stoddard

All our losses can still be compensated,

All our pains will be comforted;

But when the ideal dream of youth disappears,

it takes something away from our hearts,

Gone never to come back!

Under the severe test of adult life,

We become stronger and more beautiful than before;

But we still feel something sweet,

Youth passes by at a rapid pace,

It is gone and never comes back!

Something beautiful has disappeared,

It is useless for us to sigh, and there is no way to regret;

Although we can still see traces of it everywhere,

Whether it is on the ground or in the air,

But it will never come back!

Love's Witness——The Witness of Love

Slight unpremeditated Words are borne

By every common Wind into the Air;

Carelessly utter \'d, die as soon as born,

And in one instant give both Hope and Fear:

Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind

According to the Caprice of the Mind.

But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses,

Substantial Records to Eternity;

Just Evidences, who the Truth confess,

On which the Lover safely may rely;

They\'re serious Thoughts, digested and resolv\'d;

And last, when Words are into Clouds devolv\' d.

Hasty words without thinking,

are carried into the air with every ordinary breath;

Said casually, disappear as soon as they are spoken,< /p>

Giving people hope and fear in a moment:

The same breath exhales all kinds of contradictory hearts,

Following the impermanent reverie of the soul.

But a love letter is an eternal witness,

an eternal physical record;

a fair evidence, it speaks of sincerity,

They are serious thoughts, carefully considered;

When the words disappear beyond the clouds, they will continue.
