Bilingual
There are things to be remembered
When the heart is old
And many words are waiting
Before the tale is told
And many hawks are plunging
Upon the summer air
And still the mice are creeping
And still the world is fair
ย
A necessary evil
ย
Is portioned to the heart
ย
We might as well acknowledge
The devil from the start
And know the hasty blossom
As swiftly will decay
While other flowers are waiting
To grace a forward day
It is foolish to have wisdom
And folly to be blind
To see and take and question
Must nourish any mind
Reserve a quiet judgment
Until the heart is old
When fewer words are needed
Before the tale is told
A necessary evil
ย
Is portioned to the heart
We might as well acknowledge
The devil from the start
A necessary evil
Is portioned to the heart
We might as well acknowledge
The devil from the start
And know the hasty blossom
As swiftly will decay
While other flowers are waiting
To grace a forward day
