bagel
oh, the days are gone!
when beauty bright,
my heart's chains wore.

when my dream of life,
was love, still love?

new hope,
may bloom,
and days may come,
of milder, calmer being.

but there's nothing,
half-so sweet in life,
as love's young dream.

oh there's nothing,
half-so sweet in life,
as love's young dream...
