You shall Above All Things Be Glad and Young by E.E. Cummings

you shall above all things be glad and young

For if you're young,whatever life you wear
it will become you;and if you are glad
 whatever's living will yourself become.
  Girlboys may nothing more than boygirls need:
       i can entirely her only love
whose any mystery makes every man's
 flesh put space on;and his mind take off time
that you should ever think,may god forbid
 and (in his mercy) your true lover spare:
 for that way knowledge lies,the foetal grave
 called progress,and negation's dead undoom.

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing

than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance
