The Allegory of Youth

from The Allegory of Youth by Axel Kacoutié

/

lyrics

O youth, sweet youth a fountain true to me,
The days were golden like the hearts of suns.
An endless Spring, an honest fantasy,
Creative power spoke in mystic tongues.

Since actions ruled by kindness of the heart,
And innocence pervaded every word.
My soul knew no fear from the very start,
Imagination greets this carefree bird.

Now dreams I wake and learn I did not dream
The rose and tinted sights I see no more.
My world less charmed when speared with Moonlight beam
To craft from Love becomes the Greatest Chore.

But still my Happiness I keep from woe,
In hope that Beauty reaps what I now sow.
