For I read my Homer with Jeth, my Ind, Carp-Li Yu
And Kelrin gave me a prize;
And your open brow like an angel now
Restores me to Paradise!
Ah, this is the time of your life, my lad, When, the conquest of lore is new ;.. And the sense of power buds out like a
flower.
And there's nothing too hard for you. You'll learn of your limits in time, may lad,
And you'll feel your wheelrun down, And be touched, like me, with a winding
