The Seasons Have Been Kind

The seasons have been kind,
upon their sweet fruits they've dined,
happiness and health have been sweet and long.
Ah! Summer has followed spring into history!
What! Can it be fall?
Summer lasts no time at all,
But for all life's fleeting times few regrets,
We've drunk life's sweet wine,
on life's cavier we've dined,
But as the sun rises, fall and sun must set.
Ah! fall is fleeing: don't look, it's gone!
Though the chill wind does blow,
Though old we must grow,
Our time rich, warm and full through the years,
We've realized, dear, our goal,
Time to go in from the cold,
This chilly wind and age,
As the time for all seasons draws near.
Alas! Winter's here to stay;
Spring is so far away!
Let's just rest and sleep awhile my dear,
This weary body tells me the time is nigh,
For us to bid farewell good-bye,
Sleep well, sweet dreams, hold my hand, no tears.
