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 does a youth
so does the fairest maid
Comes a time when one sweet smile
has a season for a while....
Then love's in love with me
Some they think only to marry
others will tease and tarry
Mine is the very best parry
Cupid he rules us all
Caper the cape, but sing me the song
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey... and bitter as gall
Love is a pastime that never will pall
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Cupid rules us all
A rose will bloom....
It then will fade
so does a youth
so does the fairest maid
