LIFE

Children, ye have not lived, to you it seems Life is a lovely stalactite of dreams, Or carnival¹ of careless joys that leap About your hearts like billows on the deep In flames of amber² and of amethyst³.

Children, ye have not lived, ye but exist Till some resistless hour shall rise and move Your hearts to wake and hunger after love, And thirst with passionate⁴ longing⁵ for the things That burn your brows with blood-red sufferings.

Till ye have battled with great grief and fears, And borne the conflict of dream-shattering years, Wounded with fierce desire and worn with strife⁶, Children, ye have not lived： for this is life.
