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。

 

The Flight of Youth by Richard Henry Stoddard

 

There are gains for all our losses.

 

There are balms for all our pain;

 

But when youth,the dream,departs

 

It takes something from our hearts,

 

And it never comes again.

 

We are stronger, and are better,

 

Under manhood’s sterner reign;

 

Still we feel that something sweet

 

Following youth, with flying feet,

 

And will never come again.

 

Something beautiful is vanished,

 

And we sigh for it in vain;

 

We behold it everywhere,

 

On the earth, and in the air,

 

But it never comes again!
