Youth Has A Charm

Do rapidly believe in youth and its charm,
An attractive proposition to consider
If one is rejected by it, if it takes you by alarm,
If age has been the actual admonisher.

The crisis of age is caused by the rejection of youth,
It is easy and hard, slow and fast,
And age is splendid and fierce as a dogtooth,
When young children resemble the fighting broadcast.
