The Rambling Sailor/On Youth Struck Down

​
ON YOUTH STRUCK DOWN
(FROM AN UNFINISHED ELEGY)OH! Death what have you to say?"Like a bride—like a bride-groom they ride away:You shall go back to make up the fire,To learn patience—to learn grief,To learn sleep when the light has quite gone out of your earthly skies,But they have the light in their eyes    To the end of their day."
