What is a Youth?

What is a youth? Impetuous fire.
What is a maid? Ice and desire.
The world wags on.
A rose will bloom. It then will fade.
So does a youth, so does the fairest maid.

Comes a time when one sweet smile has it's season for a while
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

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

Great theme song frm the 1968's version of Romeo n Juliet... haa~ Likes it the first time I heard it...
