Lead life as you own and as you please
With heartfelt joy and inner bliss
Sustain it through time with rhyme
As azure above, as placid clime.
Sustain it with untold song
Do merry, do good—let the heart long.
For joys of life all to you belong,
For sadness all to you belong.
Lead with joys untold as life’s goal,
A definite call of the soul;
The hedonistic life is but man’s choice
A serene, saccharine and sweet voice.
