青春的飞逝

The Flight of Youth

我们失去的一切都能得到补偿，我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰：可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝，它带走了我们心中的某种美好，从此一去不复返。我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美，在严峻的成年生活驱使下：可是依然感到甜美的情感，已随着青春飞逝，不再返回。

THERE are gains for all our losses. There are balms1 for all our pain： But when youth, the dream, departs2, It takes something from our hearts, And it never comes again. We are stronger, and are better, Under manhood3＇s sterner4 reign5 Still we feel that something sweet Following youth, with flying feet, And will never come again.
