[If thou art still a griefless girl or boy]
1
If thou art still a griefless girl or boy,In love with life, and ignorant of love's grave,
Read not herein! For thee no gift have I,
And be thou thankful that no gift I have!
2
But if time's wayworn traveller thou art,Hail, pilgrim! 'Tis for thee this book was writ.
The same sad pilgrimage, tho' far apart,
We two have made, and know the pain of it.
