YOUTH’S SONG IN SPRING
George Borrow translation
O, scarcely is Spring a time of pure bliss, He is wrong who full trust thereon layeth; From many it may Take sorrow away, But to many it trouble conveyeth.
O, when every thing is as joyous in Spring, As in heaven, that never is dreary; ’Tis a grievous case If one mournful must pace, And cannot be also merry!
