Be Young At Heart Poem by Nero CaroZiv

Be young and ever let the Love into your heart roam,
Pleasure is not a self grown, and by itself is never naturally at home:
Pleasure is too short; at a rough touch sweet Pleasure melts
Like Autumn bubbles when rain pelts


Who would be young and let Cupid winged Love wander
Through the divine thought still spread beyond love splendor
The human mind opens wide the mind's cage-door,
Love will dart forth, and cloud ward will rise and soar.


Oh sweet Love that we all seek, if we let her in our hearts loose;
Summer joys will be spoilt by diverse and use,
And the enjoying of the every year lukewarm Spring
Does fade as does its reach versatile blossoming;


Leave Autumn harsh dark narrow days they are fruitage too,
Blushing through the mist and crystal dew, you indulge in few
Trees stand barren boughs
The world is closing down without any justice or truth


Oh the skies of winter with cold stars blaze bright,
Naked meadows and bare moors under the spirit of a winter's night;
When the dump soundless earth is muffled,
And the piling, obstructing snow by tired people is shuffled


Think of Love at long winter night; she will bring, in spite of frost,
All past beauties and your precious memories that the earth hath lost;
She will bring forgotten moments to you all together,
All the delights of sunshine summer weather;


Be young at heart when all the buds and bells of May,
From dewy sward or thorny spray;
All the heaped last Autumn's wealth,
With a still, mysterious stealth and divine breath


Be young at heart and love while you can
The voice, eyes, smile, earrings, perfume and the soul of a woman,
Never fear, never delay though it may break your heart
Love is so recoverable; out of any wound a new joy will start;


Love can make you so complete proud and glad and well
Though love by hypocrisy can be heaven or love be hell.
Yet be young at heart and love while you may,
For life is short as one passing happy day;


And never fear the thing you feel; love is a heaven deal
Only by love life is made adventurous fascinating and real;
Love, has its deadly sins more than seven,
Yet love is the only gate on earth that makes you feel in heaven.
