To Youth there comes a whisper out of the west:
“O loiterer, hasten where there waits for thee
A life to build, a love therein to nest,
And a man's work, serving the age to be.”
Peace, peace awhile! Before his tireless feet
Hill beyond hill the road in sunlight goes;
He breathes the breath of morning, clear and sweet,
And his eyes love the high eternal snows.
