[What sweet lips are reddening]
What sweet lips are reddening
In the void beyond to-morrow?
Ah! what cause for joy or sorrow
May the coming seasons bring?
Nay! they're all too sweet, those days, for our imagining.
In the void beyond to-morrow?
Ah! what cause for joy or sorrow

Nay! they're all too sweet, those days, for our imagining.
Many a youth is fain for love,
Many a maiden's heart is yearning:
Oh hasten while you can to prove
The thoughts wherewith your souls are burning.
Life is all too short for sorrow,
Yesterday died beckoning the unreluctant morrow.
