Excerpt from Out of the Forest and Other Verses Blessed is The Young Man Blessed is the young manWho, when days are long, Fills his eyes with pictures, Stores his heart with song.When the sun is waning, When the shadow nears, Music still and sweetnessLight the speeding years.In the gathered twilight, Smiling, he shall say'Never can the past be takenAny time away.' Summer in the meadowsWhen the blossom falls;Sw upon the rangesWhere the raven calls;Cloud that strides the moorland, Challenge of the breeze, Solitude and starlight, Sun and tossing seas, Rains, and roads of travel -Gifts of dark and day -Never can the past be takenAny time away.
