39、，这使他回想起父母在他年幼时对他爱，他们曾给予他教诲并为了他幸福祈祷上帝。可他偏偏选择了一条错误道路。惭愧和悲伤使他再也不敢面对他父亲所在天堂。他双眼黯然无光，充满着泪水，在绝望中，他大声哭喊：“回来吧，我青春!回来吧!”青春真回来了，因为以上全部一切只是他在新年夜所做一场梦。他还年轻，当然他确实犯有过失；但还未堕入深渊；他依然能够自由地走上通向安宁和光明之地道路。那些依然在人生路口徘徊，不知该不该选择光明大道年轻人啊，你们一定要记住：当许多年过后，你们在黑暗群山中艰难行走之时，再痛心疾首地呼唤：“哦，回来吧、青春!哦，把我青春时光还给我!”，只会是徒劳无益。第28页- the deep, d
