Young Blood

(1898)

"When all the world is young, lad,

And all the trees are green;

And every goose a swan, lad,

And every lass a queen;

Then hey for boot and horse, lad,

And round the world away;

Young blood must have its course, lad,

And every dog his day." -- from The 'Old, Old Song', Charles Kingsley (18191875)
