Only to Live

Only to live! There nothing is more sweet. Only to live! There nothing is more bitter. Only to live, when flowers are at the feet And overhead the happy swallows twitter. Only to live! There nothing is more sweet. Only to live, when flies the angry sleet, And the head bows above a dead love?s litter. Only to live! There nothing is more bitter.
