Question

from primavera tis my twentieth year: dim, now, youth stretches behind me; breaking fresh at my feet, lies, like an ocean, the world. and despised seem, now, those quiet fields i have travelld: eager to thee i turn, life, and thy visions of joy. fame i see, with her wreath, far off approaching to crown me; love, whose starry eyes fever my heart with desire; and impassiond i yearn for the future, all unconscious. ah, poor dreamer! what ills life in its circle enfolds. not more restless the boy, whose eager, confident bosom the wide, unknown sea fills with a hunger to roam. often beside the surge of the desolate ocean he paces; ingrate, dreams of a sky brighter, serener than his. passionate soul! light holds he a mothers tearful entreaties, lightly leaves he behind all the sad faces of home; never again, perchance, to behold them; lost in the tempest, or on some tropic shore dying in fever and pain!
