"What is a Youth"

What is a youth?
Impetuous fire.
|
3
|
What is a maid?
Ice and desire. |
4
|
The world
wags on , |
5
|
a rose will bloom.... |
6
|
It then will fade: |
7
|
so does a youth, |
8
|
so does the fairest maid. |
9
|
Comes a time when one sweet smile |
10
|
has a season for a while.... |
11
|
Then
love's in
love with me. |
12
|
Some they think only to marry, |
13
|
others will
tease and
tarry. |
14
|
Mine is the very best
parry. |
15
|
Cupid he rules us all. |
16
|
Caper the cape, but sing me the song,
|
17
|
Death will come soon to hush us along.
|
18
|
Sweeter than honey... and bitter as
gall, |
19
|
Love is a task and it never will
pall. |
20
|
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall.
|
21
|
Cupid rules us all."

A Time for us
|
23
|
|
24
|
A time for us, some day there'll be
|
25
|
When chains are torn by courage born
|
26
|
Of a love that's free.
|
27
|
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
|
28
|
As we unveil the love we now must hide.
|
29
|
A time for us at last to see
|
30
|
A life worthwhile for you
and me.
|
31
|
And with our love,
through tears and thorns
|
32
|
We will endure and we pass surely through every
storm.
|
33
|
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world.
|
34
|
A world of shining hope for you and me.
|
35
|
A world of shining hope for you and me.
