Watch. for the world advancing gives the
prize
To youth, does he but think and use his
eyes.
For never have such benefactions come
To man as now are waited from the
skies
To youth has come a thousand ages
chance
To fathom myst'ries and TO still advance
Into the secret vaults of natures wealth,
And in day the boards of years
enhance
Open sesame is now youths golden word;
His knock upon the brazen door is heard
And nature spreads around him all her
store,
And he may mount on wings as does
the bird
So let our youths look up and take their
part
In the great game Of science and of art,
And thus cancel time and space and age.
And keep his youth forever in his heart
