What Is A Youth (by Glen Weston) Lyrics


What is a youth?
Impetuous fire.
What is a maid?
Ice and desire.
The world wags onA rose will bloom,
it then will fade
So does a youth.
So does the fairest maid.
Comes a time when one sweet smile
Has its season for awhile
Then Love? s in love with meSome may think only to marry.
Others will tease and tarry.
Mine is the very best parry,
Cupid he rules us all.Caper the caper; sing me the song
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Love is a task and it never will pall.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,

Cupid he rules us all.
(20 second flute interlude)A rose will bloom, it then will fade.
So does a youth.
So does the fairest maid.

Nino Rota (December 3, 1911 - April 10, 1979) was an Italian composer. He is particularly remembered for his work on film scores, especially The Godfather series and a number of films by Federico Fellini. Rota was born into a musical family in Milan, and studied at the conservatory there under Ildebrando Pizzetti. Later, the conductor Arturo Toscanini encouraged him to go to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to study. This he did, where he worked under Fritz Reiner, amongst others. He later returned to Milan, where he wrote a thesis on the renaissance composer Gioseffo Zarlino.
