Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize,
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize.
Once gone, a tale that softly sighs,
Once gone, a tale that softly sighs.
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize,
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize.

Oh, you who journey, ever on,
Oh, you who journey, ever on,
With eyes that gleam, a stubborn dawn,
With eyes that gleam, that stayed so long,
Why leave? Why wound this heart that yearns?
Why leave? Why wound this heart that burns?
Why leave? Why wound this heart that yearns?

Behold, the moon's soft scatterings,
Behold, the moon's soft scatterings,
The nights, so sweet, on hopeful wings,
The nights, so sweet, on hopeful wings,
My youthful tide, in fullness sings,
My youthful tide, in fullness sings.
I call myself, a love-struck thing,
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize,
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize.
Once gone, a tale that softly sighs,
Once gone, a tale that softly sighs.
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize,
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize.

The dark clouds gather, in the sky,
The dark clouds gather, in the sky.
I cannot hold the moment by,
I cannot hold the moment by.
If I should stretch, a tempting sigh,
If I should stretch, a tempting sigh,
Whose heart would not, with longing, try?
Oh, come, you innocent, your thirst allay,
Oh, come, you innocent, your thirst allay,
For youth's wild joy, will fade away.
Oh, come, you innocent, oh, come away,
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize,
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize.
Once gone, a tale that softly sighs,
Once gone, a tale that softly sighs.
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize,
Youth's bloom, a fleeting, stolen prize.
