Daily Dose

From Word Over All, by Cecil Day Lewis

OH YOUTH

"Oh youth-charmed hours, that made an avenue
Of fountains playing us on to love's full view,
A cypress walk to some romantic grave --
Waking, how false in outline and in hue
We find the dreams that flickered on our cave:
Only your fire, which cast them, still seems true."

From O Dreams, O Destinations
