To Youth by Sarojini Naidu.

O Youth, sweet comrade Youth, wouldst

thou be gone?
Long have we dwelt together, thou and I;
Together drunk of many an alien dawn,
And plucked the fruit of many an alien sky.

Ah, fickle friend, must I, who yesterday
Dreamed forwards to long, undimmed ecstacy,
Henceforward dream, because thou wilt not stay,
Backward to transient pleasure and to thee?

I give thee back thy false, ephemeral vow;
But, O beloved comrade, ere we part,
Upon my mournful eyelids and my brow
Kiss me who hold thine image in my heart.

    @小叶ใบไม้ 😅, it's okay. Sarojini had a large vocabulary so her poems are not always easy to understand.
