诗歌
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!
青春的飞逝-理查德.亨利.斯托达德 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。 我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美， 在严峻的成年生活驱使下； 可是依然感到甜美的情感， 已随着青春飞逝， 不再返回。 美好已经消逝， 我们枉自为此叹息； 尽管在天地之间， 我们处处能见青春的魅力， 可是它不再返回！
