Child, child

Child, child, love while you can

The voice and the eyes and the soul of a man;

Never fear though it can break your heart

Out of the wound new joy will start;

Only love proudly and gladly and well,

Though love be heaven or love be hell.

Child, child, love while you may

For life is as short as a happy day;

Never fear the thing you feel

Only by love is life made real;

Love, for the deadly sins are seven,

Only through love will you enter heaven.
