Laurence Binyon - Invocation to Youth

2014-11-07 0

COME then, as ever, like the wind at morning!
   Joyous, O Youth, in the aged world renew
Freshness to feel the eternities around it,
   Rain, stars and clouds, light and the sacred dew.
   The strong sun shines above thee:
   That strength, that radiance bring!
   If Winter come to Winter,
   When shall men hope for Spring?

Laurence Binyon
