1. The one who in his life has never felt
The joy of love, that wonderful exhilaration,

2. May merit our forgiveness for such ignorance,
But he who lacks all sense of beauty's face

3. Could be mistaken for a corpse laid in its place.
To see no loveliness where there is such

4. Is equal to one buried while still alive.
Sad is the life that knows no loving friend,

5. But far sadder to feel love that's come to end.
