Oh, the days are gone, when beauty bright
My heart's chain wove;
When my dream of life, from morn till night
Was love, still love.
New hope may bloom, 
And days may come
Of milder, calmer beam,
But there's nothing half so sweet in life 
As love's young dream:
No, there's nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream.

Jeune rêve d'amour

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Ives)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the English

Ô, ils sont passés les jours où brillante Beauté
Enlaçait mon cœur de chaînes,
Où mon rêve de vie, du matin à la nuit,
N'était qu'amour, et encore amour.
Un nouvel espoir peut éclore
Et des jours peuvent arriver 
Des jours radieux, plus doux, plus calmes,
Mais il n'y a rien de moitié si doux dans la vie
Qu'un jeune rêve d'amour :
Non, il n'y a rien de moitié si doux dans la vie
Qu'un jeune rêve d'amour.
