On youth observed from middle age.

In the thickest of the wind
Flee the spoils of daylight.

The hours consist of countless hands,
Pulling at every bulging pocket--

They won the corruption
Of true neighbors

When short of season, and young,
They laid in nearby lawns and
Collected,

Shaded from the impeachments of sharing.
