[00:43.93]As sandy beaches and soft swelling tides invite the inquisitive young [00:51.52]And caviar, oysters and p芒t茅 de foie invite the discerning tongue [00:58.31]So comes the desire to be lost awhile in the depths of the forest glade [01:05.89]Midst the cool deep greens where ancient oaks cast wondrous spells in their shade. [01:18.38]And if sometimes I feel in retrospect a regret for the waste of my youth [01:25.95]Then I pause to reflect that I still have time before growing long in the tooth [01:33.19]To achieve all the things that I should have achieved when idleness led me astray [01:40.71]And being aware of what I have missed, I'm extending my use of the day.
