Charles Hubert Hastings Parry - Crabbed age and youth - текст песни (слова)

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together: 
Youth is full of pleasance, age is full of care; 
Youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; 
Youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. 
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short; 
Youth is nimble, age is lame; 
Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; 
Youth is wild, and age is tame. 
Age, I do abhor thee; youth, I do adore thee; 
O, my love, my love is young! 
Age, I do defy thee: O, sweet shepherd, hie thee, 
For methinks thou stay'st too long.
