An Old French Song, by Leo Kober
Life’s span is brief (La vie est brève)
Dreams.…fond belief (Un peu de rêve)
Of love a ray (Un peu d’amour)
And then—good day! (Et puis—bon jour !)
Ah, vain is life (La vie est vaine)
With hate, with strife (Un peu de haine)
Hope looms up bright (Un peu d’espoir)
But then—good night! (Et puis—bon soir !)
