Fond Counsel

Topics: classic

O youth, beside thy silver-springing fountain,         In sight and hearing of thy father's cot,         These and the morning woods, the lonely mountain,         These are thy peace, although thou know'st it not.         Wander not yet where noon's unpitying glare         Beats down the toilers in the city bare;         Forsake not yet, not yet, the homely plot,         O Youth, beside thy silver-springing fountain.
