Herbert Kretzmer
Yesterday when I was young
the
taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.
I teased at life as if it were a foolish g
ame,
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle fl ame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed,
the splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand.
I lived by
night and shunned the naked light of the day
and only now I see how the years ran
away.
Yesterday when I was young
so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung,
so
many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to
see.
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think what life
was all about
and every conversation I can now recall
concerned itself with me and nothing
else at all.
Yesterday the moon was blue
and every crazy day brought something new to
do.
I used my magic age as if itwere a wand
and never saw the waste and emptiness
beyond.
The g ame of love I played with arrogance and pride
and every flame I lit too
quickly quickly died.
The friedns I made all seemed somehow to drift away
and only I am left
on stage to end the play.
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung,
I feel the
bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was
young. | | | |
