| When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange -- my youth. |
| Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that sways and sings And children's faces looking up Holding wonder like a cup. |
| Beauty, more than bitterness Makes the heart break. |
| No one worth possessing Can be quite possessed. |
| I make the most of all that comes, And the least of all that goes. |
| Can I ever know you Or you know me |
