A Song of Life
No sighs for love, my hearty! There's more in life to-day
Than weeping for a woman; Swift rolls the world away!
The times are ever changing—brave deeds there are to do;
Why weep, then, for a woman who will not weep for you?
No sighs for love, my hearty—no rainy April eyes!
With all the light around you, think of a world of sighs!
The green is on the meadow, the hills climb near the blue;
Why weep, then, for a woman who will not weep for you?
No tears—no sighs, my hearty! To moan, when dark clouds pass
And let the living light out, “Alas! Alas! Alas!”
Brave rivers seaward singing—the rose o'ertops the rue;
Why weep, then, for a woman who will not weep for you?
Fare to the fight! The battle is for the brave and strong;
Fast flies the time, my hearty; Life is a battle song!
Stern foes are swift advancing; brave deeds there are to do;
Why weep, then, for a woman who will not weep for you?
Than weeping for a woman; Swift rolls the world away!
The times are ever changing—brave deeds there are to do;
Why weep, then, for a woman who will not weep for you?
No sighs for love, my hearty—no rainy April eyes!
With all the light around you, think of a world of sighs!
The green is on the meadow, the hills climb near the blue;
Why weep, then, for a woman who will not weep for you?
No tears—no sighs, my hearty! To moan, when dark clouds pass
And let the living light out, “Alas! Alas! Alas!”
Brave rivers seaward singing—the rose o'ertops the rue;
Why weep, then, for a woman who will not weep for you?
Fare to the fight! The battle is for the brave and strong;
Fast flies the time, my hearty; Life is a battle song!
Stern foes are swift advancing; brave deeds there are to do;
Why weep, then, for a woman who will not weep for you?
