Youth does not for once
old age contemplate
it's the dawn of love
life it will celebrate.

  The heart leaps to the sky
  the arms longingly outstretch
   the hours to joy they beckon
    such bliss nothing could ever match .

       Outside your chamber
       even in the coldest winter night I wait
        no glance you give me and walk away
         yet I linger after midnight late

For by such alluring beauty
I'm imprisoned and I can't escape
I'll die gladly for her just one kiss
it's all vain pining now and in sorrow I drape.
