Ah, sweetheart, let us hurry / We still have time. | |||
Delaying thus, we bury / Our mutual prime. | |||
Beauty’s bright gift shall perish / As leaves grow sere; | |||
All that we have and cherish / Shall disappear. | |||
The cheek of roses fadeth / Gray grows the head; | |||
And fire the eyes evadeth / And passion’s dead. | |||
The mouth, love’s honeyed winner / Is formless, cold; | |||
The hand, like snow, gets thinner / And thou art old! | |||
So let us taste the pleasure / That youth endears, | |||
Ere we are called to measure / The flying years. | |||
Give, as thou lov’st and livest / Thy love to me, | |||
Even though, in what thou givest / My loss should be! | |||

Original text and translations
English Ah, sweetheart, let us hurry / We still have time. Delaying thus, we bury / Our mutual prime.
Beauty’s bright gift shall perish / As leaves grow sere; All that we have and cherish / Shall disappear.
The cheek of roses fadeth / Gray grows the head; And fire the eyes evadeth / And passion’s dead.
The mouth, love’s honeyed winner / Is formless, cold; The hand, like snow, gets thinner / And thou art old!
So let us taste the pleasure / That youth endears, Ere we are called to measure / The flying years.
Give, as thou lov’st and livest / Thy love to me, Even though, in what thou givest / My loss should be!
