Laurence Binyon. b. 1869870. Invocation to Youth
| COME then, as ever, like the wind at morning! | |
| Joyous, O Youth, in the agèd world renew | |
| Freshness to feel the eternities around it, | |
| Rain, stars and clouds, light and the sacred dew. | |
| The strong sun shines above thee: | 5 |
| That strength, that radiance bring! | |
| If Winter come to Winter, | |
| When shall men hope for Spring? |
