Seventeen is bursting with ambition. Ecstasy comes often when one dreams. Vested in a vague, momentous mission, Each moment is more vital than it seems. Now is what the future must depend on, Though time itself seems like an endless plain. Eventually, the note that one might end on Even now beguiles the budding brain. Nor will faith be so bountiful again.
