Sing a While Longer

Has the bright sun set,
 Has the gale grown stronger? 
Still we’ll not grieve yet:
 We will sing a while longer!

Has our youth been met 
 By Time the wronger? 
Let us not grieve yet,
 Let us sing a while longer!

Is the world beset,
 Do the sorrows throng her? 
Let us not grieve yet:
 Let us sing a while longer!
