  When you wear a frown, from day to day, Having no regards for the right I’ll say Seeking your company without a thought, And deafening your ears to what mother has taught, This puts a shadow on the beauty of life. If there sits before you a glass that bubbles, It means you only sorrow and troubles, ’Twill take you to the late hours at night And start your longing for wonderful sights. Then a shadow is on the beauty of life. If you ne’er look before you leap In trying to get money by the heap, To lengthen joy rides in beautiful cars, Soon you will land behind the bars, This spreads a shadow on the beauty of life. If you’re easy persuaded in doing wrong Your heart will pay with a little sad song, When company isn’t right, travel alone. Then ask God to give you a mind of your own, And you’ll never shadow the beauty of life. |
