This is Nirvana; Yussouf's song to Almona

H. Burleigh

Never forgotten that one day,

Never forgotten Love's sweet way!

Cruel was Fate;

Not yet too late,

Never shall Fate now say us "Nay."

Is it a dream? Never to part!

Shall I awake with sudden start,

Never to know

You lov'd me so;

Never to know your gentle heart?

Now is the day with beauty rife,

Peace after war, calm after strife;

Fate was unkind,

Fate now is blind;

This is Nirvana! This is life!
