A Young Man’s Exhortation Lyrics by Gerald Finzi

A Young Man’s Exhortation, Op. 14

0

Call off your eyes from care
By some determined deftness; put forth joys
Dear as excess without the core that cloys
And charm Life's lourings fair
Exalt and crown the hour
That girdles us, and fill it with glee
Blind glee, excelling aught could ever be
Were heedfulness in power
Send up such touching strains
That limitless recruits from Fancy’s pack
Shall rush upon your tongue, and tender back
All that your soul contains
For what do we know best?
That a fresh love-leaf crumpled soon will dry
And that men moment after moment die
Of all scope dispossest
If I have seen one thing
It is the passing preciousness of dreams;
That aspects are within us; and who seems
Most kingly is the King
