[In the street of By-and-By]
‘Por la calle de Despues se acabe à la casa de Nunca’
In the street of By-and-By
Stands the hostelry of Never.
Dream from deed he must dissever
Who his fortune here would try.
Stands the hostelry of Never.
Dream from deed he must dissever
Who his fortune here would try.
There 's a pathos in the cry,
As of impotent endeavour:
In the street of By-and-By
Stands the hostelry of Never.
As of impotent endeavour:
In the street of By-and-By
Stands the hostelry of Never.
Grave or gamesome, low or high,
Dull or dainty, crass or clever,
You must lose your chance for ever,
If you let it forth to fly
In the street of By-and-By.
Dull or dainty, crass or clever,
You must lose your chance for ever,
If you let it forth to fly
In the street of By-and-By.
