What is a youth?

The world wags on

A rose will bloom,

It then will fade

So does a youth.
青春如此，
So does the fairest maid.

Comes a time when one sweet smile

Some may think only to marry.

Others will tease and tarry.

Mine is the very best parry,

Caper the caper; sing me the song

Death will come soon to hush us along
