Smile and Sigh


 A smile because the nights are short!

 And every morning brings such pleasure
 Of sweet love-making, harmless sport:
 Love, that makes and finds its treasure;
 Love, treasure without measure.



A sigh because the days are long!
Long long these days that pass in sighing,
A burden saddens every song:
While time lags who should be flying,
We live who would be dying.
