WELCOME JOY, AND WELCOME SORROW
LYRICS
Dancing music, music sad,
Both together, sane and mad;
Oh! The sweetness of the pain!
Laugh and sigh, and laugh again,
Muses bright and Muses pale;
Bare your faces of the veil,
Welcome joy, and welcome sorrow,
Come to-day, and come to-morrow,
Welcome joy, and welcome sorrow,
Come to-day, and come to-morrow,
I do love you both together!
I do love you both together!
Let me see, and let me write
Of the day, and of the night,
Of the day, and of the night,
Pines, and lime-trees full in bloom,
And my couch a low grass tomb.
And my couch a low grass tomb.
Muses bright and Muses pale,
Bare your faces of the veil,
Bare your faces of the veil,
Welcome joy, and welcome sorrow,
Come to-day, and come to-morrow,
Welcome joy, and welcome sorrow,
Come to-day, and come to-morrow,
I do love you both together!
John Keats (1795-1821)
