SONNET TO YOUTH Around them spreads, as flawless as fresh snow, A space of infinite sincerity, Where they may trample with temerity Deep steps to mark the path of what they know, A sphere of emptiness, where they may throw Bright darts of thought, conglomerate, and see Them settle ,... shift into crude harmony. . . And, brief, kaleidoscopic patterns show. Theirs is the unscarred confidence of youth: Could they but sight the armor's smallest chink And prick life cleanly, reason might well up Like blood, in single, scarlet drops of truth, To give them answer, make them glad to think, Before time stays the filling of their cup.
