Child no more; a stripling bearing

Arms appears, with valor fraught

Leagued with the strong, the free, the daring,

In soul already who hath wrought.

Hence away!

No delay!

There where glory may be sought.

HELENA and FAUST

Scarcely summoned to life's gladness,

Scarcely given to day's bright gleam,

Downward now to pain and sadness

Wouldst thou rush, from heights supreme!

Are then we

Naught to thee?

Is our gracious bond a dream?
