我们失去的一切都能得到补偿,我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰;
可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝,它带走了我们心中的某种美好,从此一去不复返。
The Flight of Youth by Richard Henry Stoddard
There are gains for all our losses.
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth,the dream,departs
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhood’s sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Following youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again!
