Lyrics

Youth, Day, Old Age, and Night
Walt Whitman

Youth, large, lusty, loving—youth full of grace, force, fascination, 
Do you know that old age will come after you with equal grace, force, fascination? 

Day, full blown and splendid—day of the immense sun, action, ambition, laughter, 
The night follows close with millions of suns and sleep and restoring darkness.
