Oh talk not to me of a name great in storyB
The days of our Youth are the days of our gloryB
And the myrtle and ivy of sweet two and twentyB
Are worth all your laurels though ever so plentyB

What are garlands and crowns to the brow that is wrinkledC
Tis but as a dead flower with May dew besprinkledC
Then away with all such from the head that is hoaryB
What care I for the wreaths that can only give gloryB

-
Oh Fame if I e'er took delight in thy praisesD
'Twas less for the sake of thy high sounding phrasesD
Than to see the bright eyes of the dear One discoverE
She thought that I was not unworthy to love herE
-
-
-
There chiefly I sought thee there only I found theeB
Her Glance was the best of the rays that surround theeB
When it sparkled o'er aught that was bright in my storyB
I knew it was Love and I felt it was GloryB
