When all the world is young, lad
And all the trees are green;

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.
OR
Steaming through metal landscape on her lines;
She plunges new eras of wild happiness,
Where speed throws up strange shapes;
broad Curves;
And parallel clean like the steel of Guns,
At last further than Edinburg or Rome.
Beyond the crest of the world
She reaches night,
Where only a low stream line brightness
of phosphorus on the tossing hills is light.
