O would that we had met When I had my burning youth; But

As we age‚ we forget (parallelism). We forget the joys of being a child. We forget (repetition) how to play‚ how to laugh (parallelism). We tend to become so fixed on growing up that we forget many of things that we found wondrous as children as they have faded away like the night (simile) as the sun of time rises and illuminates the harsh reality of life.

Beethoven’s ninth symphony was the climax of all his symphonies. He has begun work on this symphony many years before ultimate completion. It is titled “The Symphony of Joy” because of the great moments of happiness captured in multiple parts.
