A YOUTH TO HIS FATHER, by WALTER R. ADAMS
First Line: Too long a fledgling in the nest
Last Line: So loose the bonds: I must go free.
Subject(s): Fathers
First Line: Too long a fledgling in the nest
Last Line: So loose the bonds: I must go free.
Subject(s): Fathers
Too long a fledgling in the nest,
I crave the bright and windy quest
Life holds, nor ask which way is best.
A voice -- Adventure's! -- speaks to me,
Crying city, desert, sea!
So loose the bonds: I must go free.
