YOUTH met within a garden, And youth to youth revealed Time's loveliest hidden secrets, Things that were dead and sealed: What domes of ivory wonder Rose in the golden race: What heavens were fabled o'er them - For some face like this face. Youth roamed by shore and mountain And its new wisdom told: But earth and sea were silent, Their lovely faces cold. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHIMNEY SWEEPER, FR.
