O, I would madly, madly live,
Perpetuate all the existent,
Ennoble all the petty instant,
and realize all the conceived!
Let hardship suffocate with sorrow,
Let heavy dreams preclude my way,
The cheerful fellow of the morrow
Will say of me, some other day,
We must forgive his gloomy features,
He's got a jolly inner mind,
A bright and effervescent creature,
A freedom's celebrated kind!
