What Is A Youth?

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 the time when one sweet smile

Has its 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 caper

Sing me the song

Death will come soon to hush us along.

Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall

Love is the pastime that never will pall.

Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall

Cupid, he rules us all.

A rose will bloom

It then will fade

So does a youth

So does the fairest maid
