FLEETING YOUTH by EMMA THOMAS SCOVILLE

First Line: FRAIL, ROUND-EYED YOUTH SURVEYS IN ECSTASY
Last Line: HER SPREAD HER GLISTENING WINGS AND FLIT AWAY!
Subject(s): FAREWELL; YOUTH; PARTING;

Frail, round-eyed youth surveys in ecstasy
The rosy tints of transitory day;
Before the morning dew has dried, I see
Her spread her glistening wings and flit away!
