Youth

It's good to laugh when the heart is young

It's good to hear the sweet song sung

It's good to sit 'neath the boundless sky,

To hear God's wind go rushing by.

It's good to grip an honest hand,

To find a friend in every land,

It's good to hear Time's cataract roar,

Not looking backward, but before.

It's good to love when the heart beats high,

It's good to love till the end is nigh,

But best of all to live your span,

It's good to live and be a man.
