And with my steps dance down the happy way;

For youth is love and love is light and gay,

Little sad face.

Little sad heart, come close, so close to mine,

And know the utmost limits of the will

Of all the worlds, till soft thy heart divine

A joy which can encompass grief like thine;

Hide in my breast, and let faint pulses thrill,

For youth is love, and love is great and still,

Little sad heart.
