Live while you live
Let each shining hour,
In blossom beauty spun;
Inspire your heart to give
The best while in the flower,
Life for you has just begun.
Live while you live,
In love's shadow fleeing,
Fortunately, a dream,
What harm is there in seeing,
Before the crystal stream?
So, live while you live,
Beneath the willow branch,
Life beams with energy,
Your destiny you'll launch,
Upon the distant sea.
Live while you live,
Actions prove our worth,
To be or not to be,
Just what we are from birth,
Each day till eternity.
