Quote Query

[JAbraxas at aol.com]

Does anyone know the source of this quote?   
   "Give me the old enthusiasms back,
    the ardent longings that I lack,
    the glorious dreams that fooled me in my youth,
    the sweet mirage that lured me on its track,
    and take away the bitter, barren truth."

   Many thanks, 
                 Jack
