BUT THE SUN IS EVER YOUTHFUL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Now the long forgotten valley of my youth I went
Last Line: But the sun is ever youthful and his beauty lasts alone.
Alternate Author Name(s): Meyer, Konrad


Now the long forgotten valley of my youth I went to seek,
And I saw the dale lie barren and the mountains stand out bleak.
Oh, my trees and oh, my dreams, and sombre heights with
beeches grown!--
But the sun is ever youthful and his beauty lasts alone.

Yonder where the sedge is growing, where I see the withered pool,
In my youth there was the bubbling of a stream alive and cool--
From the herds, through heaths and pastures there arose a
lowing moan.--
But the sun is ever youthful and his beauty lasts alone.
