Mood of youth, <br />Mood of youth, <br />Eagle-like must seek the blue, <br />Dauntlessly its course pursue, <br />All the mountain-heights must view. <br />Blood of youth, <br />Blood of youth, <br />Steam-like puts full-speed to sea, <br />E'en though storm and ice there be, <br />Makes its way and romps in glee. <br />Dream of youth, <br />Dream of youth, <br />Rogue-like stealing sets its snare <br />In the maiden's morning-prayer; <br />All the springtime, fragrant, glowing, <br />In its airy waves is flowing. <br />Joy of youth, <br />Joy of youth, <br />Waterfall-like foams in truth, <br />Laughing, rainbow-gifts forth flashing, <br />Even while to death 't is dashing. <br />Joy of youth, <br />Dream of youth, <br />Blood of youth, <br />Mood of youth, <br />Clothe the world with colors golden, <br />Singing songs that never olden.<br /><br />Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/youth-41/
