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 do es the fairest maid
Comes a time
when one sweet smile
Has its season
for awhile
Then Love's in love with me
Some may 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 a task and it never will pall
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Cupid he rules us all
........flute interlude........
A rose will bloom,
It then will fade
So does a youth
So do es the fairest maid
