Song - Love While You May.

Topics: classic

Day by day, with startling fleetness,         Life speeds away;     Love, alone, can glean its sweetness,         Love while you may.     While the soul is strong and fearless,     While the eye is bright and tearless,     Ere the heart is chilled and cheerless -         Love while you may.     Life may pass, but love, undying,         Dreads no decay;     Even from the grave replying,         "Love while you may."     Love's the fruit, as life's the flower;     Love is heaven's rarest dower;     Love gives love its quick'ning power -         Love while you may.
