No Backward Look.
I would not have my youth again.
Although its days were pleasant days
And bird and song and flowers and balm
Were thickly strewn along its ways.
1 would not walk its valleys sweet.
Though rough the road that now !
tread;
Nor long | for its cool retreats.
Though fierce the sun beats on my head.
The road that onward leads from youth
Hath had too many weary climbs:
| would not scale the heights again.
Not even for those dear old times
Along the way too many graves
Mark partngs fraught with bitter pain;
| would not buy the joys of youth
And take its bitter griefs again.
Id not turn backward to that realm
Which held my childhood's friends SO
dear.
For. 10. they walt me just ahead.
And heaven. indeed. is very near.
