A Song of Life
'Tis the same sun and stars, my Love, That o'er our parents shone Through the brief beauty of their day, And when we also are as they Will yet shine on, shine on:-- Then mid the roses let us sing, As mid the roses they did; For life will bring no second spring When summer once is faded. 'Tis the same sun and stars, my Love, That saw their childish glee; And rising still, and setting still, So smiling, and so shouting, will Their children's children see: Then mid the roses let us sing, As mid the roses they did; For life will bring no second spring When summer once is faded. 'Tis the same sun and stars, my Love, That saw them, worn and gray, Smile bright and brave on instant Death; --And who, that breathes our human breath, Would bear to live for aye? --Then mid the roses let us sing, As mid the roses they did; For life will bring no second spring When summer once is faded.
- edited by the composer from the collection Lyrical Poems (1871) by Francis Turner Palgrave (1824-1897).

A Song of Life
'Tis the same sun and stars, my Love, That o'er our parents shone Through the brief beauty of their day, And when we also are as they Will yet shine on, shine on:-- Then mid the roses let us sing, As mid the roses they did; For life will bring no second spring When summer once is faded. 'Tis the same sun and stars, my Love, That saw their childish glee; And rising still, and setting still, So smiling, and so shouting, will Their children's children see: Then mid the roses let us sing, As mid the roses they did; For life will bring no second spring When summer once is faded. 'Tis the same sun and stars, my Love, That saw them, worn and gray, Smile bright and brave on instant Death; --And who, that breathes our human breath, Would bear to live for aye? --Then mid the roses let us sing, As mid the roses they did; For life will bring no second spring When summer once is faded.
- edited by the composer from the collection Lyrical Poems (1871) by Francis Turner Palgrave (1824-1897).
