The Flower of Youth
1
Lest heaven be for the greybeard's hoary
God who made boys for his delight
Goes on earth's hour of grief and glory
And calls the boys in from the night
When they come trooping from the War
Our skies have many a new gold star.
2
Heavens thronged with gay and careless faces
New waked from dreams of dreadful things
They walk by green and pleasant places
And by the Crystal water springs
Forget the nightmare field of slain
