AT SEVENTEEN YEARS
Oh Youth! too nigh thine end thou'rt drawing
When thou art scarce begun;
Oh Youth! thou from my grasp art thawing
Like snow beneath the sun;
Oh Youth! of all thou'st promised me
Tell me what hast thou done?
When thou art scarce begun;
Oh Youth! thou from my grasp art thawing
Like snow beneath the sun;
Oh Youth! of all thou'st promised me
Tell me what hast thou done?
Jun. 1841,
