What Is A Youth

What is a youth? 
Impetuous fire. 
What is a maid? 
Ice and desire. 
The world wags on 

rose will bloom, 
it then will fade 
So does a youth. 
So does the fairest maid. 

Comes a time when one sweet smile 
Has its season for awhile 
Then Love`s in love with me 

Some may think only to marry. 
Others will tease and tarry. 
Mine is the very best parry, 
Cupid he rules us all. 

Caper the caper; sing me the song 
Death will come soon to hush us along 
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall, 
Love is a task and it never will pall. 
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall, 
Cupid he rules us all. 

rose will bloom, it then will fade. 
So does a youth. 
So does the fairest maid.
