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