What is a youth?
Impetuous fire.
What is a maid?
Ice and desire.
The world wags on
A rose will bloom,
it then will fade
So dies the youth.
So dies the fairest maid.
Comes a time when one sweet smile
Has its season for awhile
Then Loves in love with me
Some may think only to mar-ry.
Others will tease and tar-ry.
Mine is the very best par-ry,
Cupid he rules us all.
Caper the caper; sing me the song
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Love is a task and it never will pall.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Cupid he rules us all.
A rose will bloom,
it then will fade
So dies the youth.
So dies the fairest maid.
