Young and True

Here today but gone tomorrow

Are our momentary distances and sorrows

For the strangers we called our friends

Have turned to such alien trends

And all that seemed happy a day before

Has caught up in time's lore

The vexing touch of childhood bliss

Has disappeared and gone amiss

The days wangled and nights lost

Have now shown there severe cost

Leaving behind a numb soul on a forked road

Each path the same, with unknown loads
