Youth, large, lusty, loving -- youth full of grace, force, fascination, Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, force, fascination? Day full-blown and splendid -- day of the immense sun, action, ambition, laughter, The Night follows close with millions of suns, and sleep and restoring darkness. | Other Poems of Interest...AFTER THE GENTLE POET KOBAYASHI ISSA by ROBERT HASS BETWEEN THE WARS by ROBERT HASS THE GOLDEN SHOVEL by TERRANCE HAYES ALONG WITH YOUTH by ERNEST HEMINGWAY THE BLACK RIVIERA by MARK JARMAN |
