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.
