A day that is boundless as youth <br />And gay with delight to be born, <br />Where the waves flash and glide over sands <br />In their pure image rippled and worn; <br />Where laughter is young on the air <br />As the race of young feet patters light! <br />Linked shadows run dancing before <br />In the midst of the infinite light! <br />On a violet horizon asleep <br />One milky sail glimmers afar; <br />And our spirits are free of the world <br />With nothing to bind or to bar; <br />With no thought but the thoughts of a child; <br />O golden the day and the hour! <br />The strong sea is charmed from his rage, <br />And the waste is more fair than a flower.<br /><br />Robert Laurence Binyon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-day-that-is-boundless-as-youth/
