Song: Oh for a Day of Spring

OH for a day of Spring,

A day of flowers and folly,
Of birds that pipe and sing

And boyhood's melancholy !
I would not grudge the laughter,
The tears that followed after.
Oh for a day of youth,
A day of strength and passion,
Of words that told the truth
And deeds the truth would fashion !
I would not leave untasted
One glory while it lasted.
Oh for a day of days,
A day with you and pleasure,
Of love in all its ways
And life in all its measure !
Win me that day from sorrow,
And let me die to-morrow.
