... but the rain Is full of ghosts tonight
Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age. The child is grown, and puts away childish things. Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Night falls fast. Today is in the past.
Youth, have no pity; leave no farthing here For age to invest in compromise and fear.
Here's a song was never sung: Growing old is dying young.
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely.
