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.
