When all the world is young, lad, And all the trees are green; And every goose a swan… — Charles Kingsley

When all the world is young, lad, And all the trees are green; And every goose a swan, lad, And every lass a queen; Then hey for boot and horse, lad, And round the world away: Young blood must have its course, lad, And every dog his day.
