YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE

The flesh is drunk with pride.
It drinks of the gift of nature
Nature is generous and glad
To bestow youth with beauty
The flesh is drunk with pride.
The gift cannot be hidden
Expose the gift they must
The straight legs and trunks
The full busts and lips
The flesh is drunk with pride.
The twinkling eyes, the shiny hair,
The chest full of hair
The muscular arms, the rounded shoulder
Expose these gifts they must.

The flesh is drunk with pride
The small narrow waist
The deep romantic voice
The long tapering fingers
The small narrow feet.
The flesh is drunk with pride
Our youths, this truth must know
What nature so freely gives
Must need be treated with care.
For life is sweet but short
The flesh is drunk with pride.
