Lyrics

Young and Old
Charles Kingsley

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. 

When all the world is old, lad, 
And all the trees are brown; 
And all the sport is stale, lad, 
And all the wheels run down; 
Return and take your place there, 
The spent and maimed among: 
God grant you find one face there 
You loved when all was young.
