CHILD, CHILD, LOVE WHILE YOU CAN
THE VOICE AND THE EYES AND THE SOUL OF A MAN;
NEVER FEAR THOUGH IT BREAK YOUR HEART-
OUT OF THE WOUND NEW JOY WILL START;
ONLY LOVE PROUDLY AND GLADLY AND WELL,
TOUGH LOVE BE HEAVEN OR LOVE BE HELL.
CHILD, CHILD, LOVE WHILE YOU MAY,
FOR LIFE IS 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 IN HEAVEN
